This study evaluated the associations between selected dietary habits and lipid profiles in a group of 800 randomly selected patients hospitalized in the Nitra Cardio Center, Slovakia. Patients were aged 20-101 years (only men, the average age was 61.13 ± 10.47 years). The data necessary for the detection of dietary habits were obtained by a questionnaire method in closed-ended format. Data collection was carried out simultaneously with the somatometric and biochemical examinations of the respondents ensured by the Nitra Cardio Center. The following parameters were evaluated: total cholesterol (T-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides, and blood glucose. Statistical comparisons between groups were performed using one-way analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA), followed by Tukey's post hoc test. We detected significant differences ( p &lt; 0.05) in the influence of the number of daily meals on T-C and LDL-C, which were higher in men who consumed 1-2 meals compared with 3-4 or 5-6 meals. In the consumption of meat, eggs, and fish, there was no significant effect on the biochemical parameters of blood ( p &gt; 0.05). We recorded a significant effect ( p &lt; 0.001) on T-C and LDL-C levels between low-fat and whole-fat milk consumption. Except for the impact of fruit consumption on the HDL-C level ( p &lt; 0.001), the different frequencies of fruit consumption showed non-significant changes for the lipid profile levels. We detected a significant effect ( p = 0.017) of the consumption of vegetables 1-2 times/week on LDL-C in favor of daily consumption. Our results support that monitoring the lipid profile is an important determinant in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. The conducted research emphasizes the importance of diet dependence on the improvement of the quality of treatment and nutrition of people with this type of disease.
