Summary:Background: Smoking, a self-selected behavior, is the sixth leading cause of deathworldwide. Factors related to smoking in Taiwan’s indigenous Malayo-Polynesian population should be elicited and addressed. Purpose: This study examined the relationship between smoking behavior and individual and family/community factors in indigenous Taiwanese. Methods: This study was a secondary analysis of data obtained from household visits in central Taiwan that included a population of 562 indigenous adults aged 20Y50 years. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test and hierarchical logistic regression to determine individual and family/community relevant factors of smoking behaviors. Results: The smoking rate in the population studied was 57.48% (39.15%men, 18.33% women). The odds ratio for smoking was markedly higher in men than inwomen. Smokers were 0.45 times more likely to have fixed sexual partners. The OR for smoking was 2.68 times in households with smokers and 7.03 times in people living in mountainous areas.
