Abstract

BACKGROUND: Cessation-related weight gain and weight concerns are common among smokers and have a negative impact on quitting. Obese smokers tend to gain more than the average amount of weight and also have lower quit rates. This article describes the prevalence of obesity and weight concerns among smokers calling a state quitline in the United States. RESULTS: Among 3972 smokers using a state quitline, 33.3% were obese, 30.2% overweight, 33.3% normal weight and 3.2% underweight; a total of 60.6% were concerned about cessation-related weight gain. Compared with non-obese callers, obese callers were more likely to be female, Hispanic, non-White and heavier smokers. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to report data on body weight and weight concerns of smokers calling a national quitline. Given the lower quit rates among obese and weight-concerned smokers, and the burden of smoking and obesity, there is an opportunity to develop new treatment approaches for this at-risk population.

戒烟热线中体重担忧和肥胖的流行。
背景:戒烟相关的体重增加和体重担忧在吸烟者中很常见,并对戒烟产生负面影响。肥胖的吸烟者往往会比平均体重增加更多,而且戒烟率也更低。这篇文章描述了肥胖和体重问题的流行在吸烟者呼叫国家戒烟线在美国。结果:在3972名使用状态戒烟线的吸烟者中,33.3%为肥胖,30.2%为超重,33.3%为正常体重,3.2%为体重不足;总共有60.6%的人担心戒烟会导致体重增加。与非肥胖来电者相比,肥胖来电者更有可能是女性、西班牙裔、非白人和重度吸烟者。结论:这是第一个报告全国戒烟热线吸烟者体重和体重问题数据的研究。鉴于肥胖和关注体重的吸烟者的戒烟率较低,以及吸烟和肥胖的负担,有机会为这一高危人群开发新的治疗方法。
