Micronutrient Deficiencies in Patients With Heart Failure: Relationships With Body Mass Index and Age

Micronutrient Deficiencies in Patients With Heart Failure: Relationships With Body Mass Index and Age

Abstract Background It is conceivable that lean patients (body mass index 18.5–24.9 kg/m2 ) with heart failure (HF) have low body weight due to low food consumption and that this may contribute to micronutrient deficiencies and to their poorer prognosis compared with overweight/obese patients. We hy...

Summary:Abstract Background It is conceivable that lean patients (body mass index 18.5–24.9 kg/m2 ) with heart failure (HF) have low body weight due to low food consumption and that this may contribute to micronutrient deficiencies and to their poorer prognosis compared with overweight/obese patients. We hypothesized that lean patients have a greater number of inadequate micronutrient intakes (
