Abstract :  Cardiovasculer diseases are the most common reason for morbidity and mortality in the world. Smoking and obesity are among the most important avoidable reasons for these diseases. However, in Turkey, there are not enough studies about the effect of obesity insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(central and androgenic); on insulin levels of smokers. With this aim; oral glucose tolerance test insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(OGTT); was performed on 84 patients who meet the study criteria among 211 patients treated at the second internal diseases clinic of Taksim Hospital between November 1997 and May 1998, who were volunteers, smokers and older than 18. In addition, the total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglicerid levels of these patiens were checked. Heights, weights and waist circumferences of patients were measured. From these datas, body mass indexes insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BMI); and waist circumferences insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(WC); were calculated. Nicotine addiction levels of patients were evaluated by Fagerstrom Nicotine Dependency Test insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FNDT); and package/year amounts were calculated. According to the results based on the data obtained from the studies, no difference were determined insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p>0.05);, in ages, FNDT scores, insulin, TC, LDL and HDL levels between overweighted and normal weighted patients. On the other hand; there was statistically significant difference between two groups in BMI values, WC measurements insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(between different genders); and TG levels. In the regression analysis; BMI [OR: 1.512, insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(95% CI min=0.928, max=2.069);] and WC [OR: 1.912, insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(95% CI min=1.051, max=2.125);] was founded as a risk factor for the insulin increment. Additional information about the subject for the large participation cross-sectional studies. More action about life style modification insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(smoking cessation and an effective weight control); may increase risk of cardiovascular diseases in populations.
