RESUMO
The objective of the research was to assess nutritional habits of men with coronary heart disease aged > 60 years old (n=132), stratified by educational level. The examined men were divided into 3 groups: group I--men with primary education (n=33), group II--men with secondary education (n=42), group III--men with higher education (n=57). Nutritional habits of examined men were assessed on the basis of a 3-day food record. The research showed that nutritional habits of examined men were characterized by too much saturated fat and cholesterol and were in accordance to hipolipemic diet. Educational level did not significantly influence the parameters of the subjects' diet, but had an impact on the structure of the intake of selected products.
