The Prevalence and Associated Factors of Smoking and Smoking-Cessation in Iranian Older Adults: Ardakan Cohort Study on Aging (ACSA)
The study highlights a high prevalence of both first- and secondhand smoking in the elderly population of Iran, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions. These findings may inform age- and context-appropriate public health strategies targeting older adults, particularly in regions where smoking remains socially embedded and cessation support is limited.
