説明

The relationship between smoking and body weight was examined in 2, 146 healthy adult males, aged 35-49 years, without an alcohol drinking habit.<br>Among smokers, mean values of body weight increased with the increase in the amount smoked per day. Smokers of 21-30 cigarettes per day (cig/day), 31-40cig/day and 41 or more cig/day were 0.6kg, 1.3kg and 2.5kg heavier than nonsmokers, respectively. The same dose response relationships as shown in body weight were observed in mean values of the sum of the triceps and subscapular skinfolds and body-mass index (weight/height2). Three non-protein nitrogen components, serum creatinine, serum uric acid and blood urea nitrogen, showed a different distribution within smoking categories; i. e., serum creatinine varied little between smoking categories; in serum uric acid a V-shaped curve existed with the smoking class of 11-20cig/day having the smallest average, and in blood urea nitrogen there was a “dose-response” gradient in that heavier smokers had lower urea levels.<br>From these data, it was suggested that body weight in smokers who smoked more than one pack of cigarettes per day generally tended to increase in part because of hormonal response to cigarette smoke.
