Resumen
RUIZ DIAZ, María Stephany; MORA GARCIA, Gustavo y GOMEZ CAMARGO, Doris. Association of Alcohol Drinking and Smoking with Obesity in Adults from Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. Salud, Barranquilla [online]. 2018, vol.34, n.1, pp.109-111. ISSN 0120-5552. https://doi.org/10.14482/sun.34.1.9716.
Objective:
Objective: to estimate the association of alcohol drinking and smoking with overweight and obesity.
Material and Methods:
A cross-sectional study was carried out. History of alcohol (gr/day) and tobacco (packs/year) consumption was registered. Body Mass Index was employed for overweight and obesity definition. Associations were estimated through logistic regression and a regression tree was applied.
Results:
A total of 675 subjects were included. Current-drinkers were 68.4% of total simple and current-smokers were 20.6%. Overweight and obesity frequencies were 41.1 and 18.5%, respectively. Alcohol consumption was associated to overweight and obesity (OR=1.1, p=0.02). There were no significant associations with smoking.
Conclusions:
Alcohol drinking was found to be associated with higher body weight excess, while smoking facilitates obesity development in overweight subjects.
