OBJETIVO: Analisar a associação entre tabagismo e obesidade abdominal em doadores de sangue. MÉTODOS: Estudo de corte transversal com 1.235 homens adultos doadores de sangue (idade: 20-59 anos) em Cuiabá (MT). Foram coletados dados socioeconômicos, demográficos e antropométricos, bem como informações sobre o estilo de vida dos participantes. Neste estudo, a circunferência da cintura e a relação cintura/quadril foram utilizadas como marcadores de obesidade abdominal. A associação desses dois marcadores com o tabagismo foi analisada por meio de regressão linear múltipla em modelos distintos, ajustados para potenciais fatores de confusão. RESULTADOS: Dos 1.235 entrevistados, 273 (22,1%) declararam ser fumantes e, desses, 99 (36,3%) relataram fumar mais de 15 cigarros por dia. A média do índice de massa corpórea nos fumantes foi menor que nos não fumantes (p 11 cigarros/dia. CONCLUSÕES: Nesta amostra, o tabagismo associou-se positivamente com indicadores de obesidade abdominal, independentemente de potenciais fatores de confusão, inclusive o consumo de bebidas alcoólicas.OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between smoking and abdominal fat among male blood donors. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study involving 1,235 adult male blood donors (age, 20-59 years) in the city of Cuiabá, Brazil. Socioeconomic, demographic, and anthropometric data, as well as information on the lifestyle of the participants, were collected. In this study, waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio were used as markers of abdominal fat. The association between these two markers and smoking was analyzed by multiple linear regression in separate models, adjusted for potential confounders. RESULTS: Of the 1,235 respondents, 273 (22.1%) reported being smokers, and, of those, 99 (36.3%) reported smoking more than 15 cigarettes per day. The average body mass index was lower among smokers than among nonsmokers (p 11 cigarettes/day. CONCLUSIONS: In our sample, smoking was positively associated with indicators of abdominal fat, regardless of potential confounding factors, including the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
