“…An association between substance use (i.e., cigarette, alcohol, and marijuana use) and obesity has been reported in cross-sectional studies (e.g., Dhariwal, Rasmussen, & Holstein, 2010; Farhat, Iannotti, & Morton-Simons, 2010; Fonseca, Matos, Guerra, & Pedro, 2009; Leatherdale, Wong, Manske, & Colditz, 2008; Liu et al, 2010). Obese teens were more likely to engage in daily alcohol use than their healthy weight peers (Fonseca et al, 2009).…”

Purpose This study investigated whether and how trajectories of substance use in adolescence were associated with obesity trajectories in young adulthood. We hypothesized that: (1) exposure to persistent substance use throughout adolescence may heighten obesity risk in young adulthood; and (2) such associations may differ once gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and obesity status in adolescence, are considered. Methods The study included 5,141 adolescents from the child sample of the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and utilized biennial data across the 12 assessments (1986-2008) to examine trajectories of substance use behaviors (i.e., cigarette smoking, alcohol use, and marijuana use) from ages 12 to 18 and obesity trajectories from ages 20 to 24. Group-based dual trajectory modeling was applied to examine sequential associations of trajectories of each type of substance use behavior with obesity trajectories. Results Three distinctive trajectory patterns were respectively identified for cigarette smoking, alcohol use, and marijuana use from ages 12 to 18, as well as for obesity status (BMI ≥ 30) from ages 20 to 24. Taking into account gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and obesity status in adolescence, adolescents with the most problematic smoking trajectory (High-decreasing) were more likely to exhibit a High-obesity trajectory from ages 20 to 24. Also, adolescents with an Increasing marijuana use trajectory were more likely to exhibit an Increased obesity trajectory in young adulthood. Conclusions The current study demonstrates that adolescent substance use is associated with subsequent obesity in young adulthood. The associations appear to differ based on type of substance use and patterns of use.

“…Cross-sectional studies have generally not found a positive correlation between higher weight status and marijuana or other illicit drug use, but have shown that higher weight status is associated with greater cigarette smoking and alcohol use (Dhariwal, Rasmussen, & Holstein, 2010; Fonseca, Matos, Guerra, & Pedro, 2009; Farhat et al, 2010; Liu et al, 2010). Longitudinal studies, on the other hand, are less conclusive.…”

A growing body of work has shown that obese adolescents are at risk of engaging in problematic substance use, but mixed findings highlight the complexity of the relationship. Incorporating the psychosocial context into this research may inform past discrepancies. The current study assessed whether obese adolescents had a higher likelihood of experiencing a psychosocial context that predicted problematic substance use in young adulthood. Latent class analysis on 10,637 adolescents from The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) identified four psychosocial classes in adolescence: Adjusted, Deviant Peer/Victimization, Moderate Depression, and Maladjusted. Obese adolescents were more likely to belong to the Maladjusted class, characterized by higher levels of depression and deviant peer affiliation. Those in the Maladjusted class had the second highest levels of cigarette smoking and marijuana use in young adulthood. Obese adolescents’ psychosocial context should be considered in future research linking obesity and substance use.

“…A positive relationship between cigarette smoking and body mass index (BMI) has been reported among early adolescent Danish boys. 31 In a study of Portuguese adolescents, obese girls and boys were more likely to report daily alcohol consumption and frequent drunkenness compared to non-obese adolescents. 32 A study of Taiwanese adolescents also found that girls and boys with higher BMI were more likely than counterparts to report regular alcohol use and cigarette smoking, but not other illicit drugs.…”

Objectives To identify underlying patterns of cigarette smoking, alcohol use, and marijuana use in young adulthood, and ascertain whether adolescent over-weight or obesity status predicts problematic substance use patterns. Methods The study included 15,119 participants from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) at Wave 1 (11-19 years) and Wave 3 (18-26 years). Latent class analysis was conducted. Results Participants were classified into a Low Substance Use (35%), Regular Smokers (12%), High-risk Alcohol use (33%), or High Substance Use (20%) class. Over-weight/obese adolescents had a greater likelihood of belonging to the Regular Smokers class. Conclusions Overweight/obese adolescents are at higher risk of engaging in regular cigarette smoking without problematic alcohol or marijuana use.
