摘要:
Objective: To investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and smoking. Methods: Participants (N = 2243) provided demographic, height, weight, smoking information through a survey conducted on smokefree.gov and women. smokefree.gov websites. Analysis assessed associations among BMI, smoking status, and cigarettes smoked per day (CPD). Results: The average (SD) BMI of never, former, intermittent, and daily smokers was 26.3 (6.2), 27.9 (6.5), 27.4 (6.7) and 28.1 (6.8) respectively. Daily (31.2%) and former (32.3%) were more likely to be to be obese compared to never (22.0%) and intermittent (26.1%) smokers. Odds of being obese increased with number of CPD adjusting for potential confounders. Conclusions: Smokers may currently have BMIs similar to the general population. BMI and CPD were positively correlated.
