The aim of this investigation was to assess the relationship between smoking status and nutrient intakes using a meta-analysis. Publications in English were sought through a Medline search using the following key words: food habits, eating, feeding behavior, diet, food, nutrition, nutritional status or assessment, tobacco use disorder, tobacco, nicotine and smoking. Scanning relevant reference lists of articles and hand searching completed the data collection. No attempt was made to search for unpublished results. Paper selection was based on nutritional surveys including comparisons of smokers with nonsmokers. Fifty-one published nutritional surveys from 15 different countries with 47,250 nonsmokers and 35,870 smokers were used in the analysis. The estimates of size effects were calculated with the mean and variance values of each nutrient intake and the size of the sample. Smokers declared significantly (all P < 10
5) higher intakes of energy (+4.9%), total fat (+3.5%), saturated fat (+8.9%), cholesterol (+10.8%) and alcohol (+77.5%) and lower intakes of polyunsaturated fat (
6.5%), fiber (
12.4%), vitamin C (
16.5%), vitamin E (
10.8%) and
-carotene (
11.8%) than nonsmokers. Protein and carbohydrate intakes did not differ between smokers and nonsmokers. There was no evidence of heterogeneity among studies. In conclusion, the nutrient intakes of smokers differ substantially from those of nonsmokers. Some of these differences may exacerbate the deleterious effects of smoke components on cancer and coronary heart disease risk.
In industrialized countries, cigarette smoking is a major cause of preventable disease and premature death (Department of Health and Human Services 1989, Lakier 1992 Studies.
The publications included in this analysis were those that examined the association between energy and nutrient intakes and smoking status. The inclusion criteria were as follows: nutritional surveys including comparisons of smokers to nonsmokers. Nutrients had to be presented as quantitative variables in weight units. Only published articles written in English were recorded. Publications were sought through a Medline search, scanning relevant reference lists of articles and hand searching in published papers that were surveyed (list available on request). No attempt was made to search for unpublished results. Only the most recently published study with the largest number of subjects from the same survey was included in the analysis. When the values of heavy smokers were available for statistical calculations, they were used instead of those of unspecified groups of smoker. Similarly, the data from nonsmokers or never-smokers were selected as a control. Nutritional surveys were made with 3- to 7-d food records, 24-h recalls or records, food-frequency questionnaires or dietary histories. In certain studies, special questionnaires were used to assess alcohol consumption. Total energy intake was used where expressed in calories or Joules. The nutritional variables (protein, carbohydrate, lipid, alcohol, saturated fat, polyunsaturated fat, cholesterol, fiber, vitamin C, Data collected.
A total of 51 studies (67 samples) was included and analyzed in the present meta-analysis. The following information was collected from each paper: population characteristics (gender, origin of the sample, age), sampling methodology, type of dietary investigation, statistical analysis, size of the sample, means and standard deviations of energy and nutrients, and smoking status (smokers, heavy smokers, never-smokers and nonsmokers).
Statistical method.
Differences between nutrient intakes of smokers and non-smokers were expressed as the proportion of pooled SD:

, Phillips et al. 1996

). Several studies have shown anthropometric and biological heterogeneity between smokers and nonsmokers (Blair et al. 1980
, Craig et al. 1989
, Goldbourt and Medalie 1975
, Klesges et al. 1989
). These differences may be the consequence of the effects of smoke components on various metabolic reactions (Craig 1993
, Jensen et al. 1995
, Morrow et al. 1995
) or may depend on different behaviors or lifestyles in smokers and nonsmokers (Blair et al. 1980
, Goldbourt and Medalie 1975
, Revicki et al. 1991
, Woodward et al. 1994
). The assessment of nutritional habits in population studies has demonstrated that smokers and nonsmokers differ in the way they select their food (Midgette et al. 1993
, Preston 1991
, Subar and Harlan 1993
). These studies were conducted in countries with different cultures and lifestyles, thus adding to the already important variability of the nutrient intakes in the population. The aim of this analysis is to assess the relationship between smoking status and nutrient intake using the powerful tool of the meta-analysis. This technique absorbs part of the background variability and therefore, in our view, appears to be suitable for the transcultural comparisons of nutrient intakes.

Intakes of protein, lipids, carbohydrates and alcohol expressed as a percentage of total energy were not selected for statistical analysis. Mean values were adjusted for covariates in five studies. When necessary, the standard deviation was calculated from the standard error or 95% confidence interval of the mean for the purpose of the study.

where nsmoi and nnon-smoi represent the number of smokers and nonsmokers in each study for a given nutrient; SDsmoi and SDnon-smoi are the standard deviations of the mean value of the given nutrient. The mean Z-score difference, 95% confidence interval and homogeneity of the data were assessed as previously described (Hedges and Olkin 1985
). To this end, each study was weighted by Wi:

The total number of subjects varied according to the nutrient that was analyzed (Table 1). Samples originated from 15 countries. In a few instances, samples were taken from selected groups of subjects: pregnant women (n = 6), adolescents (n = 3), manual and non-manual workers (n = 1).

This study shows that smokers have unhealthy patterns of nutrient intake compared with nonsmokers and that these habits are homogeneous among studies despite extreme variability in food intake habits in different countries. On average, smokers declared consuming more fat (+3.5%) and more alcohol (+77.5%) than nonsmokers, resulting in a greater energy intake (+4.9%). Smokers also reported greater intakes of saturated fat (+8.9%) and cholesterol (+10.8%) and lesser intakes of polyunsaturated fat ( Duplicate studies

6.5%) and fiber (
12.4%). Moreover, the reported consumption of antioxidants, vitamin C (
16.5%), vitamin E (
10.8%) and
-carotene (
11.8%), was lower among smokers than nonsmokers. These associations were not different among studies. Such nutritional habits are compatible with a greater risk of cancer (Byers and Guerrero 1995
, Shils and Young 1988
) and coronary heart disease (Buring and Hennekens 1997
, Kohlmeier and Hastings 1995
, NCEP 1993, Willet 1990
). Thus, smokers reported specific food intake patterns that may aggravate their smoking-related risk of cancer and coronary heart disease.
, Craig et al. 1989
, Goldbourt and Medalie 1975
, Klesges et al. 1989
). These differences may result in part from behavioral differences such as peculiar food choices in smokers that have been described in a number of studies (Table 1). The present meta-analysis permits the overall estimation of the relationship between smoking status and nutritional intakes. Accordingly, the consistency of the difference in intake of a number of nutrients among population samples with different cultural environments suggests, although does not prove, a causal association between smoking and specific food choices. Alternatively, the associations reported in this study may be the consequence of publisher policy bias toward positive results (Chalmers and Altman 1995
), although we believe that this effect is small in this study because many variables were assessed in the each survey.
, Phillips et al. 1996
, Thun et al. 1995
). Such association is dependent on the effects of smoke components on cancer induction (Duthie et al. 1995
), lipoprotein metabolism (Craig et al. 1989
, Craig 1993
) and lipid peroxidation (Morrow et al. 1995
). This meta-analysis demonstrates that smokers also differ from nonsmokers in nutrient intake. Epidemiological evidence demonstrates a positive relationship between elevated alcohol, fat, saturated fat and cholesterol intakes and risk of cancer and/or coronary heart disease (NCEP 1993, Shils and Young 1988
, Willet 1990
). Inverse associations between antioxidant vitamin or fiber intakes and these diseases have also been shown (Buring and Hennekens 1997
, Byers and Guerrero 1995
, Kohlmeier and Hastings 1995
, Shils and Young 1988
). Thus, the observed differences between smokers and nonsmokers may exacerbate the effect of smoke components on the genesis and progression of cancer and coronary heart disease. Moreover, smoking by itself increases the requirements for various antioxidant vitamins such as vitamin C (Preston 1991
), further compounding these risks.
). Many of its complex effects are mediated by the release of catecholamines. Recent studies have demonstrated that tobacco smoke exposure is associated with a marked reduction in monoamine oxidase, an enzyme that is associated with mood function (Fowler et al. 1996
). It is conceivable that such effects result in dysregulation of appetite or attitudes toward food (Grunberg 1986
). Others have suggested that modifications of taste related to smoking may lead smokers to prefer certain foods (Grunberg 1982
). Particular food choices might also correspond to a generally unhealthy lifestyle a socio-economic status associated with smoking or a lack of nutrition knowledge (Goldbourt and Medalie 1975
, Woodward et al. 1994
). Finally, although it is possible that smokers and nonsmokers differ in the way in which they answer a food-frequency questionnaire, food record or dietary history, we believe that this hypothesis is unlikely.
