Abstract

Aims: Peer status reflects the extent to which an individual is accepted by the group. Some studies have reported that low peer status in adolescence is associated with a higher risk of smoking, while others found the reverse. No studies have investigated peer status influences on adult smoking. The aim of the study was therefore to examine the relationship between adolescents' peer status and the intensity of smoking in adulthood. Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: S tockholm, S weden. Participants: A subsample (n = 2329) of the cohort with information about adult smoking. Measurements: Peer status was assessed sociometrically at age 13 and information on smoking was gathered through a questionnaire at age 32. Relative risks (RR) for self‐reported level of smoking were calculated using multinomial logistic regression. Several family‐related and individual variables were included as control variables. Findings: Lower peer status in adolescence was associated with smoking of any intensity in adulthood. For example, the risk of heavy smoking was more than threefold (RR = 3.67) among individuals in the lowest status positions. The association with occasional smoking was abolished by controlling for factors related to adolescents' attitude to school and cognitive ability. For regular and heavy smoking the relationship was attenuated by controlling for these factors. Conclusions: Low peer status in adolescence appears to be a risk factor for smoking in adulthood. Part of this association may be explained by adolescents' feelings towards school and cognitive ability. However, being unpopular in adolescence remains a strong risk factor for regular and heavy smoking in adulthood.

  • Adolescents' peer experiences are prospectively associated with educational outcomes, mental health symptoms, addictive behaviors, and physical health morbidity and mortality decades later.

    “Prior research suggests that adolescents’ peer experiences are prospectively associated with educational outcomes, mental health symptoms, addictive behaviors, and even physical health morbidity and mortality decades later (Allen et al. 2014; Almquist 2009; Almquist and Östberg 2013; Menting et al. 2016; Modin et al. 2011; Moffitt 1993).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
