Abstract

Background Under the background of population aging, the prevalence of comorbidity among the elderly in China is increasing. Tobacco use is one of the most important preventable risk factors for human health. Objective To explore tobacco use and the correlation between smoking and co-morbidities among older people aged 60 years or older in China, and to provide a reference for the prevention and control of co-morbidities. Methods Using data from the China health and retirement longitudinal study (CHARLS) database in 2018, 7,189 cases of non-disabled older adults aged 60 years or older were selected as study subjects. The correlation between smoking and co-morbidity was analyzed using multivariate logistic regression. Results The prevalence of smoking among older adults aged 60 years or older in China was 28.18%, and the prevalence of co-morbidity among older adults was 62.18%. After controlling for confounding factors, having quit smoking (OR=1.77, 95%CI: 1.49-2.11) was associated with a statistically significant higher risk of co-morbidity compared to never-smokers. Conclusions The prevalence of multimorbidity and smoking is high in people over 60 years of age in China. There was a correlation between having quit smoking and the risk of multimorbidity.
