To study the modifications in some biological parameters in patients who stop smoking.
An analytic observational prospective study.
Urban Health Centre.
152 patients included in an intervention project against tobacco addiction.
Arterial pressure (systolic and diastolic), weight and base cardiac frequency were determined, using standard procedures at the start and end of the study year on smokers who gave up the tobacco habit and on those who continued smoking. Cessation was validated for those who gave up smoking. A non-significant reduction in arterial pressure, an average reduction of 6 beats per minute (p < 0.05) and an average weight increase of 1.5 kg (p < 0.05) were observed in the ex-smokers.
Giving up tobacco produces a benefit not comparable to the light increase in weight observed in the ex-smokers. It would be useful to study whether proper dietary advice could minimise weight gain in recent ex-smokers.
研究戒烟患者某些生物学参数的变化。
一项分析性观察性前瞻性研究。
城市健康中心。
纳入一项戒烟干预项目的152名患者。
在研究年度开始和结束时，采用标准程序对戒烟者和继续吸烟者测定动脉血压（收缩压和舒张压）、体重和基础心率。对戒烟者的戒烟情况进行了验证。观察到戒烟者动脉血压有不显著降低，平均每分钟心率降低6次（p < 0.05），平均体重增加1.5千克（p < 0.05）。
戒烟带来的益处大于戒烟者体重轻度增加。研究适当的饮食建议是否能使近期戒烟者的体重增加最小化将是有益的。
