Cigarette smoking, exercise and high density lipoprotein cholesterol.

B A Stamford, S Matter, R D Fell

    Atherosclerosis
    |July 1, 1984

    Summary

    Cigarette smoking lowers HDL cholesterol, while exercise raises it. This study found smoking may negate exercise’s positive impact on HDL cholesterol levels in middle-aged men.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Health
    • Lipid Metabolism
    • Exercise Physiology

    Background:

    • Cigarette smoking is linked to reduced HDL-C.
    • Physical activity is associated with increased HDL-C.
    • The interplay between smoking and exercise on lipid profiles requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the combined effects of smoking and exercise on blood lipids and lipoproteins.
    • To determine if smoking attenuates the exercise-induced elevation of HDL-C.
    • To analyze lipid and lipoprotein variations in middle-aged males based on smoking status and activity levels.

    Main Methods:

    • Study included 269 middle-aged males (70 smokers).
    • Data collected included demographics, body composition, caloric intake, alcohol consumption, and smoking history.

  • Physical activity was categorized into sedentary, moderate, and high activity levels.
  • Analysis of covariance adjusted for potential confounding factors.

    • Main Results:

    • Smokers had lower HDL-C and higher total cholesterol than nonsmokers.
    • High activity levels significantly increased HDL-C compared to low and moderate activity groups.
    • High activity smokers exhibited similar HDL-C levels to low activity nonsmokers, supporting the hypothesis.

    Conclusions:

    • Smoking may counteract the beneficial effects of exercise on HDL-C levels.
    • Smokers exhibited lower weight and body fat despite higher caloric intake, suggesting smoking influences metabolism.
    • Findings highlight the detrimental impact of smoking on cardiovascular risk factors, even in active individuals.
