According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cardiovascular diseases are the major cause of death in the world. The aim of the study was to investigate whether nutritional status, assessed by body mass index (BMI), is related to clinical manifestations of coronary heart disease (CHD) as well as to socio-demographic characteristics, health behaviors, and biochemical parameters of CHD patients. This cross-sectional study included consecutive patients with acute coronary syndrome and stable angina pectoris treated at the General Hospital in Pancevo from December 2012 to May 2013. Patients' demographic, anthropometric and clinical data were collected. The study group comprised 300 patients with CHD, 174 (56.8.00%) men and 126 (42.00%) women. Out of them 68 patients (22.7%) had normal weight, 133 (44.3%) were overweight and 99 (33.0%) were obese. Patients with stable angina pectoris and those with acute coronary syndrome did not significantly differ in their BMI. According to the multivariate logistic regression analyses in comparison with normal weight, overweight and obesity were significantly related to increased level of triglycerides, and obesity was also significantly related to diabetes mellitus type 2 and negatively to retirement. The results obtained indicate association of increased BMI with other CHD risk factors and thus suggest the need of health education concerning lifestyle habits in order to prevent overweight and obesity.
