Etter hvert som det blir mer oppmerksomhet om helseeffekter av passiv</p><p align="left">røyking, vil det kunne påvirke hvordan foreldre røyker og dermed også barns eksponering. Med</p><p align="left">henvisning til innsamlede data om røykeeksponering i en kohort av Oslo-barn og fra en studie av</p><p align="left">barn ved to helsestasjoner, diskuteres noen av de metodeproblemene en står overfor når en skal måle</p><p align="left">eksponering for passiv røyking i epidemiologiske studier. I disse studiene er barns eksponering for</p><p align="left">passiv røyking målt ved spørreskjemaopplysninger og ved måling av hårnikotin og kotinin i urin.</p><p align="left">Det konkluderes med at det er usikkerhet om nøyaktigheten av eksisterende metoder for måling av</p><p align="left">passiv røyking. Dette og manglende kunnskap om faktisk eksponeringsnivå kan føre til feilaktig</p><p align="left">estimering av helseeffekter av passiv røyking i en barnebefolkning.</p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><p align="left">Nafstad P, Botten G, Magnus P.</p></span></span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><p align="left"> </p></span></span><p align="left"><strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT;">Problems in measuring environmental tobacco smoke exposure<strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT;"><p align="left">in children.</p></span></span></strong></span><strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT;"><p align="left"> </p></span></strong></span></strong><em><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT;">Nor J Epidemiol </span></span></em><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">1995; </span></span><strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT;">5 </span></span></strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">(2): 141-144.</span></span></p><p align="left"><strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT;">ENGLISH SUMMARY</span></span></strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><p align="left">Usually environmental tobacco smoke exposure among children is measuered by questionnaires,</p><p align="left">recording parental smoking. As the adverse health effects of environmental tobacco smoke exposure</p><p align="left">are getting more known among the public, this is likely to influence the parents' way of smoking and</p><p align="left">by that their children's actual exposure. With references to findings in a cohort study of Oslo</p><p align="left">children and a study of children attending two of Oslo’s health centers, some methodological</p><p align="left">problems when measuring environmental tobacco smoke exposure in epidemiological studies are</p><p align="left">discussed. The exposure in these studies is measured in questionnaires to the parents and as</p><p align="left">children's hair nicotine concentration and urine cotinine concentration. Furthermore, the paper</p><p align="left">discusses how the uncertainty in actual levels of exposure may lead to false estimates for the total</p><p>health impact of environmental tobacco smoke exposure in a population of children.</p></span></span></p> ER -
