目的本研究在成年女性吸烟者社区样本中检验了吸烟控制体重与饮食失调症状之间的相互关系。方法参与者为 107 名女性吸烟者，他们完成了一系列调查问卷，包括饮食失调检查问卷 (EDE-Q)。衡量体重控制吸烟的关键项目包括吸烟以防止暴饮暴食、吸烟以消除暴饮暴食的影响以及吸烟以减少饥饿感。将支持吸烟以控制体重的吸烟者与否认吸烟行为的吸烟者进行 EDE-Q 评分以及暴饮暴食和暴饮暴食的频率进行比较。结果 相当大比例的参与者报告称吸烟控制体重。支持控制体重吸烟的参与者报告了 EDE-Q 测量的饮食失调症状的升高。补偿性吸烟与暴饮暴食的频率有关。讨论该研究结果对治疗饮食失调患者的临床医生具有重要意义。对于某些人来说，吸烟可能被用来补偿暴饮暴食。
OBJECTIVEThis study examined interrelationships between cigarette smoking for weight control and eating disorder symptoms in a community sample of adult female smokers.METHODParticipants were 107 female smokers who completed a battery of questionnaires, including the Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire (EDE-Q). Key items measured weight-control smoking, including smoking to prevent overeating, smoking to undo the effects of overeating, and smoking to feel less hungry. Smokers who endorsed smoking in an attempt to control weight were compared with those who denied such behaviors on EDE-Q scores and frequency of binge eating and purging.RESULTSA substantial proportion of participants reported weight-control smoking. Participants who endorsed weight-control smoking reported elevations on eating disorder symptoms as measured by the EDE-Q. Compensatory smoking was related to the frequency of binge eating.DISCUSSIONThe findings have implications for clinicians working with eating disorder patients; for some individuals, cigarette smoking may be used as an attempt to compensate for overeating.
