Abstract(s)
The literature indicates a strong relationship
between smoking habits and food choices (Chatkin et al, 2007).
We conducted a cross-sectional study with the aim of studing the
relationship between smoking habits with appetite, consumption
of coffee, alcohol, energy consumption, energy balance and
macronutrient distribution.
A questionnaire was sent to employees in the region of
Bragança (Portugal), for institutional e-mail. It was questioned
about their lifestyles, food intake through three days food recall,
using photography to estimate the portion size. Each participant
took photographs of all meals and beverages (one before and
another after consumption) during two weeks and one weekend
days. The portions size were estimate by dietitians and calculate
the energy and macronutrients consumption and energy balance.
The data were analyzed using SPSS trough Chi-square, Fisher’s
Exact, Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney Tests.
129 individuals answered the questionnaire, but
only 20 participated in the photographic food recall. It was
found that 20% were smokers with an average caloric intake of
2192.2 ± 317.4 kcal, 60% of non-smokers with 2168.6 ± 635.4 kcal
and 20% of ex-smokers with 2166.9 ± 292.5 kcal. It was found
an association between smoking habits and coffee consumption
(p = 0.020, Phi = 0.206), alcohol (p = 0.005, Phi = 0.250) and
appetite (p = 0.028). No association was found between smoking
habits and total energy, energy balance and macronutrient
distribution.
Dietary intake and macronutrient distribution were
not related to the smoking habits. However, it was found a weak
association between coffee and alcohol consumption and smoking
habits. Also, it was found that ex-smokers have increased appetite.
