To expand understanding of a smoking cessation barrier for women, weight concerns, in a medically underserved population.
Baseline weight concerns were examined among 235 low-income, black maternal smokers enrolled in a smoking trial. Logistic regression evaluated factors related to weight concerns.
Higher BMI (OR 3.35, P < .001), intention to quit (OR 2.12, P = .02), more previous quit attempts (OR 1.14, P = .03), and less support for quitting (OR 0.81, P = .05) predicted weight concerns.
This is the first study to delineate factors predicting weight concerns in this population, thus expanding our understanding of a key cessation barrier and informing future cessation strategies in a population known to bear increased risk of tobacco-related disease.
在医疗服务欠缺人群中，加深对女性戒烟障碍——体重担忧的理解。
对参与一项吸烟试验的235名低收入黑人孕期吸烟者的基线体重担忧情况进行了检查。逻辑回归分析评估了与体重担忧相关的因素。
较高的体重指数（比值比3.35，P < .001）、戒烟意愿（比值比2.12，P = .02）、更多的既往戒烟尝试（比值比1.14，P = .03）以及较少的戒烟支持（比值比0.81，P = .05）可预测体重担忧。
这是第一项描述该人群中预测体重担忧因素的研究，从而加深了我们对这一关键戒烟障碍的理解，并为未来针对已知烟草相关疾病风险增加人群的戒烟策略提供了信息。
