The relationship of body mass and triceps skinfold thickness to both reported number of cigarettes smoked per day and carboxyhemoglobin levels was examined in healthy cigarette smokers in the NHANES II. Among both men and women, higher carboxyhemoglobin levels were related to lower body mass and thinner skinfolds, whereas higher levels of reported daily cigarette smoking were related to increased body mass and thicker skinfolds among men only. These relationships were independent of age, education, caloric intake, physical activity, and exercise. The opposite effects of number of cigarettes smoked per day and a biological index of cigarette smoke exposure on body mass suggest that increased cigarette smoking may covary with factors that would favor increased body weight among men, whereas decreases in body weight with increases in carboxyhemoglobin may reflect the effects of nicotine exposure on energy expenditure in both men and women.
在第二次美国国家健康和营养检查调查（NHANES II）中，研究了健康吸烟者的体重和肱三头肌皮褶厚度与每日报告吸烟量及碳氧血红蛋白水平之间的关系。在男性和女性中，较高的碳氧血红蛋白水平与较低的体重和较薄的皮褶相关，而仅在男性中，较高的每日报告吸烟量与增加的体重和较厚的皮褶相关。这些关系不受年龄、教育程度、热量摄入、身体活动和锻炼的影响。每日吸烟量和香烟烟雾暴露的生物学指标对体重产生相反影响，这表明吸烟增加可能与有利于男性体重增加的因素共同变化，而随着碳氧血红蛋白增加体重下降可能反映了尼古丁暴露对男性和女性能量消耗的影响。
