Body image, body satisfaction, and eating patterns in normal-weight and overweight/obese women current smokers and never-smokers

@article{citeulike:2775246, abstract = {To explore differences between women smokers and never-smokers in body image and eating patterns, we analyzed data obtained from 587 women (18-55 years old) recruited to participate in laboratory investigations not focused on weight concerns. The sample consisted of 420 current smokers and 167 never-smokers; 44\% of each group were overweight or obese (BMI >= 25). Questionnaires included measures of body image, body dissatisfaction, and restrained and disinhibited eating. Smokers did not differ from never-smokers on perceived body shape but endorsed a thinner preferred body shape and scored lower on body satisfaction than never-smokers. Smokers also scored higher on measures of disinhibited eating. Among smokers, those who were overweight/obese scored higher than normal-weight smokers on concerns about post-cessation weight gain and lower on self-efficacy to avoid relapse if weight increased. Our findings suggest that women smokers may require help in attaining a more realistic body image and attention to dysfunctional eating patterns if they are to achieve and maintain a healthful weight and/or to quit smoking successfully. They also indicate that overweight smokers may be at elevated risk of relapse in the face of post-cessation weight gain.}, author = {Pomerleau, Cynthia S. and Saules, Karen }, citeulike-article-id = {2775246}, doi = {10.1016/j.addbeh.2007.01.027}, journal = {Addictive Behaviors}, keywords = {body, image, item, nutrition, obesity, questionnaire, satisfaction, single, smoking}, month = {October}, number = {10}, pages = {2329--2334}, posted-at = {2008-05-09 11:56:50}, priority = {0}, title = {Body image, body satisfaction, and eating patterns in normal-weight and overweight/obese women current smokers and never-smokers}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.addbeh.2007.01.027}, volume = {32}, year = {2007} }
