Analysis of dietary intake for the month before admission using the food frequency method in patients with
cardiovascular diseases (CVD) showed high level consumption of
vitamin C, excessive consumption of
phosphorus and deficiency in consumption of
vitamins A, B1, B2. 82% of patients had low
calcium excretion per 1 kg of body mass, 16% of people had high level of
bone resorption. In the group of patients with low
calcium consumption, content of all the
vitamins in daily ration was significantly lower, than that in the group with adequate
calcium consumption. High spread of
osteopenia among patients with CVD was expected because of deficiency in
calcium consumption and their lowe supply with
vitamin D, that appears risk factors of
osteoporosis. But, actually, only 10% of patients had
osteopenia and only 2 from 132
osteoporosis. Knowing that 95% of patients were overweighted, we suppose that low spread of
osteopenia may be caused by
estrogen-producing ability of fatty tissue.
