Table 1.
Frequency of the Health Outcomes by the Joint Trajectories of Cigarette smoking and Perceived Self-control (N = 479)
Five or more diseases (%) | Poor general health rating (%) | |
At-risk group (HL; n = 58) | 50 | 41.4 |
Intermediate group 1 (MM; n = 107) | 33.6 | 23.4 |
Intermediate group 2 (LL; n = 29) | 31 | 17.2 |
Intermediate group 3 (LM; n = 166) | 26.5 | 19.3 |
Low-risk group (LH; n = 119) | 19.3 | 12.6 |
Note. HL = chronic cigarette smoking/low perceived self-control; LH = infrequent or non-cigarette smoking/high perceived self-control; LL = infrequent or non-cigarette smoking/low perceived self-control; LM = infrequent or non-cigarette smoking/moderate perceived self-control; and MM = chronic moderate cigarette smoking/moderate perceived self-control.
