“…Our research has shown an insufficient frequency of consumption of wholegrain cereals, legumes, fruits and vegetables, with differences in the consumption of these products by women and men only regarding legumes and fruits. Similar unhealthy behaviours were also found in the studies by Mikulska et al (36) and Mrazova et al (38).…”

“…Differences in the frequency of consumption of fish by women and men were found. Low consumption of fish was also indicated in studies conducted by Mikulska et al ( 36 ), Mrazowa et al ( 38 ), Krupa-Kotara et al ( 40 ). Meanwhile, as shown by Petermann-Rocha et al, eating fish instead of meat is associated with a lower risk of adverse cardiovascular effects ( 20 ).…”

“…Furthermore, patients usually spent 2–4 h a day watching TV or using a computer, with a higher percentage in women than in men (83.87% vs. 70.60%). In addition, in research by Mrozowa et al ( 38 ), who assessed CVD risk factors in patients hospitalised after MI, and by Pachocka et al, who studied the impact of lifestyle on the level of nutrition in patients with metabolic syndrome, it was shown that physical activity undertaken was insufficient, and a significant proportion of patients did not undertake any activity at all. The guidelines of scientific societies recommend to reduce the time spent in a sedentary position and to undertake at least light activity during the day in order to reduce all-cause mortality and CVD morbidity and mortality ( 43 ).…”

IntroductionUnhealthy lifestyle behaviours that may contribute to the development of disorders leading to MI include consuming foods with a high glycaemic load and excessive supply of saturated fats, especially trans fats. Limiting the consumption of simple and refined carbohydrates, such as sweets, sweet drinks, white bread, or white pasta, has a positive effect on the lipid profile by lowering the concentration of triglycerides. Eliminating simple sugars, especially fructose, prevents the deposition of visceral adipose tissue.Materials and methodsThe study included 116 patients of the Silesian Centre for Heart Diseases in Zabrze (SCCS; Poland), with their average age being 59.45 ± 11.54 years, staying in the SCCS due to MI, from March to November 2022. The comprehensive assessment of diet quality included 72 patients: 15 women and 57 men. The research tool was the KomPAN questionnaire for examining dietary views and habits, developed by the Committee on Human Nutrition Science of the Polish Academy of Sciences, evaluating the diet in the year preceding the study. The following three indicators were used to assess the diet quality: pro-Healthy Diet Index (pHDI), non-Healthy Diet Index (nHDI) and Diet Quality Index (DQI).ResultsMost patients ate white wheat bread several times a day (39.66% of patients, with a higher percentage in men than in women – 42.35% vs. 32.26%), and white rice, fine-ground groats and pasta once a week (40.52% of patients, including 41.17% of men and 38.71% of women). Legume seeds were predominantly eaten 1–3 times a month (51.73% of responses, with comparable percentages of men and women, i.e., 51.76% vs. 51.62%), vegetables several times a week (42.25% of responses, including more women than men, i.e., 54.84% vs. 37.64%), and fruit once a day (40.52% of responses, including more men than women: 45.89% vs. 25.81%).ConclusionThe results of our assessment of individual behaviours of the whole group may indicate errors in the diet. The value of the pro-Healthy Diet Index appears to confirm this fact, while the non-Healthy Diet Index and Diet Quality Index values do not clearly demonstrate its potential adverse impact on health. These limitations of our study may be due to differences in the size of the study population and the size of the population included in the comprehensive diet assessment. Therefore, it seems necessary to conduct further research.
