Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to investigate gender differences in tobacco quit rates and weight gain among employees undergoing a cessation program with a health and wellness coach.

Design: This project was a retrospective observational study of an employee population.

Setting: All data were collected during health coaching sessions by nationally certified health coaches.

Subjects: 211 men and women (116 males, 95 females, age 51.3 ± 9.9 years) enrolled in a Tobacco cessation health coaching program (TCHC) between January 2020 and December 2021.

Measures: Data were compared between genders for quit rate, weight, body mass index (BMI), and nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) usage across 12-month follow-ups.

Analysis: Descriptive statistics, repeated measures ANOVA, and independent samples t-test.

Results: Significantly more men than women successfully quit by the goal date set with their coach (P < 0.05). There was a significant reduction in tobacco use across 12 months, leading to the participant's quit date (P < 0.001). Women (Weight lost ± SD= 1.49 lbs. ±16.06 lbs.) lost significantly more weight than men (0.7 lbs. ± 8.5 lbs.; P < 0.001). NRT users lost significantly more weight than non-users (P = .007).

Conclusion: Health and wellness coaching was effective for participants to successfully stop tobacco use while in this program by their quit date. The coaching program also elicited weight loss while achieving smoking cessation for both men and women.

健康与保健辅导可提高员工的戒烟率和体重管理效果。

目的：本研究旨在调查接受健康与保健教练戒烟计划的员工在戒烟率和体重增加方面的性别差异：本项目是一项针对员工群体的回顾性观察研究：所有数据都是在国家认证健康教练的健康指导课程中收集的。受试者：2020年1月至2021年12月期间参加戒烟健康指导计划（TCHC）的211名男性和女性（男性116人，女性95人，年龄（51.3±9.9）岁）：在12个月的随访期间，比较不同性别的戒烟率、体重、体重指数（BMI）和尼古丁替代疗法（NRT）使用情况：分析：描述性统计、重复测量方差分析和独立样本 t 检验：在教练设定的目标日期前成功戒烟的男性明显多于女性（P < 0.05）。在参与者的戒烟日期前的 12 个月内，烟草使用量明显减少（P < 0.001）。女性（减重 ± SD= 1.49 磅 ± 16.06 磅）的减重幅度明显高于男性（0.7 磅 ± 8.5 磅；P < 0.001）。NRT使用者的减重幅度明显高于非使用者（P = .007）：结论：健康与保健辅导对参与者在戒烟日期前成功戒烟非常有效。该辅导计划还能在实现戒烟的同时减轻男性和女性的体重。
