| Description | In the framework of the ELSPAC study which, in the CR, comprises women from the Znojmo region and from Brno, exposure to chronic stress during childhood and at present was recorded in 4990 pregnant women. When compared with women from a great industrial city, the prevalence of impaired family relations was significantly lower in women from a rural district. In the same locality, the rate of women with only basic or lower education was significantly higher. The prevalence of women with a history of smoking was similar in both localities (over 40 %) and it was in a negative correlation with the level of education. Smokers from both localities had a significantly higher occurence of all signs characterizing a possible source of stress, among others also a higher prevalence of induced abortions of unwanted pregnancies (in average 48.7 % versus 28.2 % in non smokers, p<0,0001). The result confirmed the significant role of stress in the etiology of smoking. |
