| Popis: | Aim. To assess the prevalence of overweight (OW) and obesity (O) in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and to develop a method for monitoring the achievement of the target body weight throughout the long-term ambulatory follow-up. Material and methods. The study included 211 patients aged 33–68 years (mean age 54,5±6,8 years), who previously had MI and experienced a stable clinical course of coronary heart disease for the 3 months before the study enrolment. By the values of body mass index (BMI), all patients were divided into 3 groups: normal body weight (BMI 18–24,9 kg/m2 ); OW (BMI 25–29,9 kg/m2 ); and O (BMI >30 kg/m2 ). Results. In MI patients, the mean BMI value was 27,8 kg/m2 (25,0–31,1). Higher BMI levels were observed in women, compared to men (p=0,000...). No statistically significant BMI difference was observed across the age groups (p=0,64). Conclusion. Considering the high prevalence of OW and O in MI patients, the general practitioners should develop and maintain the patients’ motivation to adhere to healthy eating behaviours. This, in turn, will reduce the risk of repeat cardiovascular events. |
