Smoking cessation rates, progression in stage of change for smoking cessation, and serious quit attempts were examined over 2 years in a cohort of 242 men and women smokers (mean age 39.7 years, mean body mass index [BMI] 26.3) as a function of expressing concern about gaining weight because of quitting smoking. Participants were employees of 25 companies who were in a worksite health promotion program aimed at reducing risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Multivariate odds ratios (controlled for age, education, job class, sex, and BMI) for quitting smoking, attempting to quit smoking, and progressing in stage of change for smoking cessation as a function of weight concern were not significant. Interactions between sex and weight concern, and BMI and weight concern were also not significant. These findings, in a working, predominantly blue-collar population, and those of other studies, suggest that concern about gaining weight is, at best, a weak predictor of change in smoking behavior among most smokers.
在一个由242名吸烟的男性和女性组成的队列中（平均年龄39.7岁，平均体重指数[BMI]为26.3），研究了两年内的戒烟率、戒烟阶段的进展以及认真的戒烟尝试，这些都是因担心戒烟后体重增加而产生的影响。参与者是25家公司的员工，他们参加了一个旨在降低心血管疾病风险因素的工作场所健康促进项目。将年龄、教育程度、工作类别、性别和BMI作为控制变量后，因担心体重而戒烟、尝试戒烟以及在戒烟阶段取得进展的多变量优势比并不显著。性别与体重担忧之间的相互作用，以及BMI与体重担忧之间的相互作用也不显著。这些发现在一个主要为蓝领的在职人群中以及其他研究的结果表明，对于大多数吸烟者来说，担心体重增加充其量只是吸烟行为改变的一个弱预测因素。
