Abstract:
Introduction: Obesity in childhood is a major cause for developing cardiovascular
diseases (CVD) at adulthood. The present study was a cross-sectional research
aimed to examine the relationship between childhood obesity and dietary pattern
with CVD in patients (n=100) from Tangail City, Bangladesh. Methods: Dietary
patterns, laboratory tests, demographic, and anthropometric interrelated data were
measured in patients with stroke and heart attack from five hospitals. The research
also used 24-hour recall method and a food frequency questionnaire for assessing
daily energy and macronutrient intakes. Results: Weight (p=0.004), body mass
index (BMI) (p=0.001), mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) (p=0.009), and waist
circumference (WC) (p=0.030) was significantly different between males and females
whereas lipid profile was not significantly different between genders. There were no
significant associations between intakes of red meat, salt, fast food, fish, egg, nuts
and seeds with heart attack and stroke. On the contrary, there were significant
associations between fried food intake with heart attack and stroke (p=0.080 and
p=0.020). The results indicated that there was a significant relationship between
carbohydrate (p=0.001), protein (p=0.001), and fat (p=0.001) intakes with the total
energy intake of respondents. The findings also showed that there was a significant
relationship between carbohydrate (p=0.003), protein (p=0.001), and fat (p=0.001)
intakes with body mass index of the respondents. Conclusion: CVD diagnosis
in adult patients was found to be associated with fried food intake but not with
childhood obesity.
