Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the commentary by Kim-Mozeleski and colleagues on "Food insecurity transitions and smoking behavior among older adults who smoke". This study examined the influence of food insecurity transitions on smoking cessation and daily cigarette consumption in 2014 within a sample of older U.S. adults from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) who indicated that they smoked in 2012. In particular, Kim-Mozeleski and colleagues highlight that findings of Bergmans (2019) contrast with results of a previous publication by Kim-Mozeleski and colleagues. In sum, it is not readily apparent why findings contradict those of Kim-Mozeleski et al. (2018). Moderation or confounding due to macroeconomic factors that influence health and behavior is a possibility. Bergmans (2019) examined associations over a recent 2-year period of U.S. economic growth. In contrast, data from Kim-Mozeleski et al. (2018) spanned 12 years and overlapped the Great Recession. A detailed response to the commentary is provided.
感谢有机会对 Kim-Mozeleski 及其同事就“粮食不安全的转变与吸烟老年人的吸烟行为”一文的评论进行回应。本研究调查了食物不安全转变对 2014 年健康和退休研究（HRS）中表示 2012 年吸烟的美国老年成年人样本中戒烟和每日吸烟量的影响。具体来说，Kim-Mozeleski 及其同事强调 Bergmans（2019）的研究结果与 Kim-Mozeleski 及其同事之前的一篇出版物的结果相矛盾。总的来说，为什么研究结果与 Kim-Mozeleski 等人（2018）的结果相矛盾并不明显。影响健康和行为的宏观经济因素可能会导致调节或混杂。Bergmans（2019）研究了美国经济增长最近两年期间的关联。相比之下，Kim-Mozeleski 等人（2018）的数据跨越了 12 年，并与大衰退重叠。我们提供了对评论的详细回应。
