The relationship between death risk and nutritional factors in individuals with acute coronary syndrome

Abstract

There is a relationship between low food intake and risk of death in patients with acute coronary syndrome. In this study aimed to examine the relationship between The Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE risk score) and food intake.: 140 men over 35 years of age with Acute Coronary Syndrome were included in the study. The 1-day energy and nutrient consumption of individuals was determined using a 24-hour food consumption recording method. Based on the GRACE risk score classification system, the patients were divided into four quartiles (89.5≥Q1≥72, 102.5≥Q2≥89.5, 117.75≥Q3≥102.51, 152≥Q4≥117.76). The macro and micronutrient intakes of individuals were compared between the four groups. Nutrient intake decreased in the group with the highest grace risk score. inadequate nutrient intake further increased the GRACE risk score. A negative correlation was found between the GRACE risk score and macro and micronutrients (p [Med-Science 2022; 11(4.000): 1660-7]
