Abstract

Abstract Recent studies have found a significant association between the risk of developing an eating disorder and tobacco consumption as an appetite suppressant. The aim of this study was to determine the association between tobacco consumption and attitudes and behaviours associated with eating disorders. The study design was an analytical observational case-control study. The study included 300 participants of both genders participated (age range, 12-20 years). The following assessment ques-tionnaires were used: EAT-26, EDI-II, BULIT-R, and an adapted questionnaire on behaviour, attitude, and opinions regarding tobacco. Continuous variables were categorized. Participants were grouped as symptomatic and asymptomatic. In the symptomatic group, there was a statistically significant difference between the variable “having smoked at least one cigarette daily for 6 or more months lifetime” and EAT-26 (?² = 7.536, 1 df, Cramer’s V = 0.159, p< 0.01) and BULIT-R (?² = 8.740, 1 df, Cramer´s V = 0.171, p< 0.01) scores. Similarly, there was a significant difference between the variable “current daily cigarette consumption” and the EAT-26 (?² = 15.565, 2 df, Cramer´s V = 0.228, p<0.01) and BULIT-R (?² = 6.237, 2 df, Cramer’s V = 0.144, p <0.05) scores. The results demonstrate an association between tobacco consumption and eating disorder spec-trum symptoms.
