Résumé :
Smoking and obesity are prevalent health risks, each of which has important effects on morbidity and mortality. People who both smoke and are obese are at particularly high risk for cardiovascular disease and need to tackle both of these issues. Smoking cessation can be difficult to achieve in obese people because of concerns over weight gain. However, it is unclear whether weight loss among smokers produces the same cardiovascular benefits as in non-smokers.
In this study we attempt to: (1) determine whether smokers and non-smokers entering a weight loss programme differ with respect to cardiovascular risk factors and (2) determine whether smokers and non-smokers obtain the same level of benefit from a weight loss programme with respect to cardiovascular risk factor improvement.
