Background
It’s well known that smoking and diabetes are direct causes for serious health problems such as cancer, and atherosclerosis. It is suggested that smoking indirectly leads to atherosclerosis by influencing nutrient intakes as smokers tend to eat more fat and carbohydrates and less mono unsaturated fats and fiber than non-smokers. But no studies assessed the impact of tobacco on nutrition in diabetic patients.
Aim
The aim of this study was to compare the nutrient intake in smokers and non-smokers in people suffering from diabetes.
Methods
We compared the food survey of smokers and non-smokers in diabetic patients. Sixty male diabetic patients were divided in two groups, 30 of whom were current-smokers and 30 were non-smokers.
Results
The main age of the participants was 51 years old. The average tobacco consumption among smokers was 26.41 pack-year. The average BMI was 26.74 and 23 kg/m2 in non-smoking and smoking diabetics respectively. Loss of appetite was reported in two smoking diabetics. The average caloric intake in non-smoking diabetic patients was 2670 kcal versus 2984 kcal in smoking patients (P = 0.189). The average fat intake in smokers was 111 g versus 108 g in non-smokers (P = 0.533).The average consumption of saturated fats was 10.16 in non-smokers and 7.6 in smokers (P = 0.300). The average consumption of polyunsaturated fats was 17.4 g and 10.4 g in non-smokers and smokers respectively (P = 0.329). Monounsaturated fat were 21 g in non-smokers versus 15 g in smokers (P = 0.240). The average intake of carbohydrates in non-smokers was 353 g versus 409 g in smokers (P = 0.098). Fiber intake was 20.7 g and 17.2 for non smokers and smokers respectively (P = 0.371).
Conclusion
Unlike data in literature, no significant difference was found regarding carbohydrate, proteins, fat and fiber intake, as well as the intake of mono and polyunsaturated fats between smokers and non-smokers.
