Using dietary assessment instruments for research in obese patients
with cardiovascular diseases: A pilot study
Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to use as many nutrition tools as possible to
calculate more dietary parameters from food questionnaire of patients diagnosed with
cardiovascular diseases and obesity. The dietary assessment instruments (DAI) for research
(DAIR) are tools that calculate dietary parameters such as daily nutrient recommendations.
Material & Methods:
The study group included patients diagnosed with cardiovascular
diseases (CVD) admitted to the cardiovascular rehabilitation clinic in Tirgu Mures and
the subjects filled a questionnaire with the food consumption for the previous year, 2017.
Results:
The daily nutrient recommendations for a 55 years, 168 cm, 96 kg female patient
calculated with DAI is 2308 kcal/day, 75 mg vitamin C, 1.5 mg vitamin B6, 8 mg zinc,
0.9 mg copper. The dietary parameters for this patient calculated with DAIR are healthy
eating index (HEI)=60, alternate healthy eating index (AHEI)=40, dietary approaches to
stop hypertension (DASH) score=10, dietary inflammatory index (DII)=+1, dietary anti-
inflammation index (D-AII)=-1, index inflammatory score of diet (ISD)=30 and oxygen
radical absorbance capacity (ORAC)=5000. The dietary parameters calculated with FFQs
is 1637 kcal/day, 230 mg vitamin C, 0.5 mg vitamin B6, 5 mg zinc, 0.6 mg copper, HEI=53,
AHEI=47, DASH=7, DII=+1.86, A-AII=-1.86, ISD=22 and ORAC=5000. The average
ORAC value for 37 patients with cardiovascular diseases was 3641 ORAC for women and
2601 ORAC for men. The difference between daily nutrient recommendations and daily
nutrient intake of the patient represents a probability of inadequate nutrients of 30% due to
the lack of daily nutrition of nuts, seeds and vegetable oils that have therapeutic properties
of CVD patients.
Conclusions:
Dietary assessment instruments for research could be a useful tool for
nutritional counseling. In future web-based nutrition analysis software services should
become popular among obese patients with cardiovascular disease.
