| Description | The work presents trends of changes in consumption of alcohol and smoking which occured during the last two months of pregnancy and confinement in women and men observed in the frame of international longitudinal prospective study ELSPAC.Respondents were filling the questionnaires which, within the ELSPAC set, were marked N4(for women)and N5(for men).Statements were not objectively verified by laboratory investigation of biomarkers of exposition to cigarette smoke.In the set of 4983 women, the prevalence of smokers in the second half of pregnancy decreased from 8.2% (in 20th week) to 7.0% in 36.-40.weeks of gravidity.2.4% of women who did not smoke at the end of the pregnancy started to smoke after the delivery.On the contrary,36% of women who smoked during the whole pregnancy gave up smoking after the delivery. Women are bringing their habits in alcohol consumption from the pregnancy also to the time after the delivery.The smokers drank alcoholic drinks significantly more often than non smoking women.Men did not change significantly their smoking habits neither during the time of expecting the baby,nor after the delivery.The regular consumption of alcohol drinks significantly increased after the birth of the child on the groups of non smokers.The results can serve as appeal to special health workers providing the care for the mother and child, to pay increased attention to the most importnant primary preventive risks for the human reproduction-alcohol and smoking |
