East Timor Background
Datos obtenidos: 2025.   Página actualizada: 2025-12-11

En Timor Oriental, la prevalencia del consumo de tabaco entre adultos de 15 años o más ha mostrado variaciones significativas en los últimos años. En 2022, se estimó que el número de fumadores era de 259,957, mientras que en 2020 se registraron 252,531 fumadores. La prevalencia de tabaquismo en adultos en 2022 fue de 30.9%, lo que representa una ligera disminución respecto al 31.5% registrado en 2020. Es importante destacar que la prevalencia de consumo entre los hombres fue considerablemente mayor, con un 56.3% en 2022, frente al 4.6% entre las mujeres. Esta diferencia de género en el consumo de tabaco se ha mantenido a lo largo de los años, con una prevalencia entre hombres de 57.7% en 2020 y 65.8% en 2019, mientras que entre las mujeres la prevalencia fue de 4.9% en 2020 y 10.7% en 2019. En 2017, la prevalencia diaria de consumo de tabaco en adultos fue de 33.3%, con un 39.5% en hombres y 5.1% en mujeres. En cuanto a los impactos en la salud, los datos de mortalidad atribuible al tabaquismo en 2021 indican que se produjeron 1,002 muertes relacionadas con el consumo de tabaco, de las cuales 801 correspondieron a hombres y 201 a mujeres. En otras palabras, las muertes asociadas al tabaquismo representaron el 10.53% del total de fallecimientos en 2021, con un porcentaje mayor entre los hombres (15.06%) que entre las mujeres (4.79%). Estas cifras ponen de manifiesto los desafíos persistentes en materia de salud pública que supone el consumo de tabaco en Timor Oriental y la necesidad de reforzar las acciones para reducir su prevalencia y los impactos asociados en la salud.
