Maternal smoking during pregnancy, polymorphic CYP1A1 and GSTM1, and lung-function measures in urban family children
2011, Environmental ResearchCitation Excerpt :This was followed by the question “On the average, how many cigarettes did you smoke on a day when you smoked during [each of the four periods]?” Studies using biomarkers (Caraballo et al., 1998, 2004; Matt et al., 1999; Peterson et al., 1997), medical records (Rice et al., 2007), and prospective data (Pickett et al., 2009; Tomeo et al., 1999) have shown that self-reported smoking status (smoked or not) is more reliable than self-reported number of cigarettes smoked, including maternal smoking during pregnancy reported by mothers of school-aged children (Pickett et al., 2009; Rice et al., 2007; Tomeo et al., 1999). Our analysis indicated a highly skewed distribution with a large range (0–9000 cigarettes) of the amount of cigarettes smoked (number of cigarettes per day times the days smoked) during the period of pregnancy and the month prior to pregnancy, and 60.1% smoked zero cigarettes.
Household smoking practices of parents with young children, and predictors of poor household smoking practices
2008, Public HealthCitation Excerpt :Pre-school aged children are particularly vulnerable because of more prolonged exposure to their parents' smoking at home. A population-based cohort study has reported that parental smoking patterns at home have the highest predictive accuracy of urinary cotinine levels among children from birth to 2 years of age.2 A survey of children aged 3–6 years also revealed that the mean level of urinary cotinine was higher in children whose parents smoked at home, indicating a higher level of passive smoking exposure.3
