Abstract

Background: Tobacco usage and obesity remain critical public health issues in the United States. This study examined the relationship between smoking behaviors, specifically-cigarettes per day (CPD) and motivations to smoke-and body mass index (BMI). We hypothesized that motivations related to food or stress, as well as a higher CPD, will be positively associated with BMI.

Methodology: We analyzed the electronic medical records of 204 patients from the Johns Hopkins' Tobacco Treatment and Cancer Screening Clinic (TTCSC) between January and April 2022. Demographic information, smoking behavior, CPD, and motivations to smoke were recorded. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed.

Results: We found no statistical significance between motivations to smoke, CPD, and BMI. However, the age at a patient's first visit to the TTCSC was negatively associated with BMI (B = -0.152, P < 0.001).

Conclusions: Smoking behaviors were not significantly related to BMI in our sample. It is advisable for clinicians working in tobacco cessation clinics to consider the BMI of individuals who present for cessation services, especially for younger individuals who smoke. They may be more likely to have an elevated BMI at presentation.

临床戒烟计划美国参与者吸烟行为与体重指数的关联:一项试点研究。
背景:在美国,吸烟和肥胖仍然是严重的公共卫生问题。本研究探讨了吸烟行为,特别是每天吸烟支数(CPD)和吸烟动机与体重指数(BMI)之间的关系。我们假设,与食物或压力有关的动机以及较高的 CPD 与体重指数呈正相关:我们分析了约翰霍普金斯大学烟草治疗和癌症筛查诊所(TTCSC)204 名患者在 2022 年 1 月至 4 月期间的电子病历。记录了人口统计学信息、吸烟行为、CPD 和吸烟动机。结果发现,吸烟行为与吸烟动机之间没有统计学意义:结果:我们发现吸烟动机、CPD 和体重指数之间没有统计学意义。然而,患者首次到 TTCSC 就诊时的年龄与体重指数呈负相关(B = -0.152,P < 0.001):结论:在我们的样本中,吸烟行为与体重指数无明显关系。建议戒烟门诊的临床医生考虑戒烟者的体重指数,尤其是年轻的吸烟者。他们可能更容易在就诊时出现体重指数升高。
