Tidak ada perbedaan respon imun perokok berat dan perokok ringan karena asupan mikronutrien

Objectives:  This study  aimed to analyze the difference in levels of cytokines  (IFN-γ, IL-6 and IL-10) based on the degree of smoking, and how the daily intake of nutrient influence the relationship of smoking with cytokines level.
Method:  This was a cross sectional study.  Study  subject consisted of  23  adult, healthy, smoker men.  Ethical clearance was  issued  by  Commission  of  Ethics  of  Medical  and  Public  Health  Research,  Faculty  of  Public  Health  Diponegoro University. Smoking variabel was obtained from questions. Level of cytokines examined consists of IFN-γ, IL-6 and IL-10 was measured  using ELISA  (pg/dl). Nutritional  intake  was  measured by  method of  2x24-hour recall.  The difference of level of IFN-γ, IL-6, IL-10 and daily nutrient intake based on smoking degree was analyzed with Mann Whitney (α 0,05).
Result:  The  result  showed  no  difference  in  level  of  IFN-γ,  IL-6  and  IL-10  found  between  group  of  light  and  heavy smokers.  In  the  group  of  heavy  smokers,  daily  nutrient  intake  was  higher  compare  to  light  smokers.  However,  the significant difference only found in vitamin C (p = 0.042).
Conclusion: Immune response, as measured by level of interferon gamma, interleukin 6 and interleukin 10, do not differ betwen light and heavy smokers due to micronutrient intake
Keywords: heavy smoker, light smoker, interferon gamma, interleukin 6, interleukin 10
