Factors associated with adherence to the Mediterranean diet in patients with coronary artery disease: a prospective cohort study.
to verify the association between adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet), sociodemographic, clinical, and biochemical factors, and hospital readmission in patients with coronary artery disease.
prospective cohort study in a tertiary hospital. MedDiet adherence was analyzed at admission and at three and six months after discharge using the Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener. C-reactive protein, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides were analyzed at admission and six months after discharge; readmission was assessed at three and six months. Associations were verified using the generalized estimating equation model, with p-values ≤0.05 considered significant.
a total of 146 patients participated, mostly men, with a mean age of 66 years. MedDiet adherence increased from 3% to 41% and 47% during follow-up and was associated with age, female gender, complete higher education, economic activity, and previous myocardial revascularization.
MedDiet adherence was associated with sociodemographic and clinical factors.
