Journal ArticleDOI
A short form of the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence and the Heaviness of Smoking Index in two adult population samples.
Ulrich John,Christian Meyer,Anja Schumann,Ulfert Hapke,HJ Rumpf,C. Adam,Dietrich Alte,Jan Lüdemann +7 more
TL;DR: Both the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence and the Heaviness of Smoking Index are concluded that both are valid measures of the urge to smoke and the tobacco-smoke-seeking behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Fagerström test for nicotine dependence in two adult population samples—potential influence of lifetime amount of tobacco smoked on the degree of dependence
Ulrich John,Christian Meyer,Ulfert Hapke,Hans-Jürgen Rumpf,Anja Schumann,C. Adam,Dietrich Alte,Jan Lüdemann +7 more
TL;DR: Dependence according to the Fagerström test for nicotine dependence does not increase with the number of years of smoking, and population-based interventions addressing the needs of dependent smokers across all age groups are needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution and dose response of laboratory markers to alcohol consumption in a general population: results of the study of health in Pomerania (SHIP).
TL;DR: Investigating characteristics of carbohydrate-deficient transferrin and comparing it with gamma-glutamyltransferase and erythrocyte mean corpuscular volume found low correlation of biomarkers with alcohol consumption, their high variability and widely spread ranges in nondrinking subjects limit the usefulness of these markers in general population settings.
