Table 5.
Tobacco use (%) by sex and attained educational level at baseline (Bl) during 1990–1997 and at follow-up (F) after 10 years during 2000–2007, and the change between surveys among participants in the Västerbotten Intervention Programme, Sweden, who were 30, 40 or 50 years old at baseline. The change from baseline to follow-up was not statistically significant among men who were 30 years old at baseline and with basic education (p=0.213). Among 30 years old men with high education and 30 years old women with basic or high education the p-value was <0.05. All other p-values were <0.001.
