ABSTRACT
Purpose:
The aim of the study was to examine whether and to what extent non-dietary factors (such as: sociodemographic and economic factors, factors related to health status, personality features and self-knowledge about the disease as well as adherence to the nutritional recommendation in coronary heart disease (CHD)) aff ect nutrition of men with CHD.
Material and Methods:
The research was carried out in 210 CHD patients aged 40-82 (mean age 63±9 years). All data were collected on the basis of a questionnaire; in the case of personality features, the polish adaptation of the questionnaire NEO-FFI was used. Nutritional habits were analyzed on the basis of 3-day food records. Multifactor analyses were done with log-linear models.
Results:
Based on the final model, it could be concluded that nutritional habits of patients were related mostly to self-assessed adherence to dietary recommendation for CHD. Relatively, SES exerted lower influence had SES and the minor influence was observed for patients’ age and openness to experience.
Conclusions:
In our study non-dietary factors affected nutritional habits of men with coronary heart disease. However, it should be emphasized that the impact was relatively small. Despite these results, the influence of non-dietary factors on nutritional habits should not be ignored in further studies as they can be a useful tool in dietary counseling.
