Abstract

This study was intended to apply statistical analysis to determine adult nutritional status and cigarette smoking in Kaura and Jama’a Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Nigeria. Four (4) major towns were selected purposively within the two LGA’s namely Kafanchan, Manchok, Kaura and Kagoro respectively. Fifty 50 questionnaires were administered in each of the four selected towns in the study area, making a total of 200 questionnaires in all. Their dietary habit, food consumption, height and weight of the subjects were taken to determine the Body Mass Index (BMI). The result showed that there is correlation between quantity of cigarette consumed and nutritional status (P < 0.05). The result of the food frequency indicated that smokers consumed less fruit and vegetables, less meat and milk product respectively, however consumption of cereal is high (51%). The BMI revealed that 42% of subjects were undernourished. Most of this subject has smoking related diseases such as decrease in lung function, increase of heart attack, Respiratory diseases, asthma, and other health effects as a result of their smoking habits. Inference derived from this recommence that all form of advertisement and promotional activities of cigarette should be banned and health education on the risk should be encouraged to minimize cigarette smoking most especially among bachelors.
