Abstract
BACKGROUND: Nutritional factors have a significant influence on the prognosis of patients with heart failure (HF). OBJECTIVE: The goal of the present study was to assess the food intake of stable patients with HF. METHODS: Patients of both genders aged over 18 years with a confirmed diagnosis of HF were recruited and matched with healthy individuals for age, sex and BMI. Food records and weighing were used to assess participant nutritional intake. DRIs and NCEP-ATP III recommendations were used to evaluate the adequacy of nutritional intake. RESULTS: Sixty-five percent of the 40 patients in the sample and 48% of the 25 control subjects were men. The mean age in both groups was 54±8 years and mean BMI was categorized as overweight. Carbohydrate, trans fatty acid and sodium intake were higher in the HF group as compared to control subjects (p=0.006, p. Copyright AULA MEDICA EDICIONES 2014. Published by AULA MEDICA.
