- Abstract
INTRODUCTION Relatively few, mainly cross-sectional, studies have examined the relationship between smoking cessation and metabolic syndrome (MetS). In particular, information on smoking cessation after MetS is limited. This study aimed to investigate the probability of smoking cessation after the onset of MetS. METHODS In this study we used cohort data from a rural area of Korea and extracted the data of 1054 smokers who were identifiable at baseline and were followed up. Of these, 1041 individuals were selected. Descriptive statistical analyses were performed to identify the basic characteristics of smokers. Multiple logistic regression was performed to determine the association between changes in MetS and smoking cessation. RESULTS The probability of smoking cessation was 1.84 times higher in the newly developed MetS cohort than in the reference group (without MetS at any time point), and it was 1.61 times higher in the persistent MetS cohort than in the reference group, with both probabilities being significant. CONCLUSIONS We found that patients with MetS were more likely to quit smoking than those without MetS. However, intervention is still needed, as numerous patients with MetS continued to smoke. Interventions that actively involve medical institutions or organizations are among the most effective approaches to promote smoking cessation in patients with MetS. In particular, women, farmers and current drinkers should be prioritized.
