The concomitance of smoking and poor dietary habits represents a worsened prognosis of health and quality of life for elderly. The aim of this study was to characterize the nutritional status of elderly who were smokers and former smokers and residents of São Paulo city.
A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2010 with a representative sample of 1,345 individuals aged 60 years and over, who were part of the elderly cohort monitored at the SABE Study. Sociodemographic, health, and nutritional aspects of the elderly were described, according to their tobacco use in life.
The proportion of smokers and former smokers was 12.9 and 54.7%, 11.0 and 25.2%, and 11.8 and 37.2% for male, female, and total population, respectively. For both genders, increasing age decreased the proportion of smokers. The proportion of proper fruit intake was smaller for female smokers. Poorer nutritional status was observed in smokers, who had fewer meals per day and greater frequency of underweight compared with elderly nonsmokers.
Considering the impact of inappropriate eating habits and smoking on health, elderly smokers deserve special attention on their nutritional status.
吸烟与不良饮食习惯并存意味着老年人的健康预后和生活质量会恶化。本研究的目的是描述圣保罗市吸烟老人、曾经吸烟的老人的营养状况。
2010年进行了一项横断面研究，对1345名60岁及以上的个体进行了代表性抽样，这些个体是SABE研究中监测的老年队列的一部分。根据老年人一生中的吸烟情况，描述了他们的社会人口统计学、健康和营养状况。
男性、女性和总人口中吸烟者和曾经吸烟者的比例分别为12.9%和54.7%、11.0%和25.2%、11.8%和37.2%。对于两性来说，年龄增长会降低吸烟者的比例。女性吸烟者摄入适量水果的比例较小。与不吸烟的老年人相比，吸烟者的营养状况较差，他们每天用餐次数较少，体重不足的频率更高。
考虑到不良饮食习惯和吸烟对健康的影响，老年吸烟者的营养状况值得特别关注。
