Objective: Cardiovascular disease and malnutrition may be interrelated, and malnutrition may directly contribute to a fatal outcome. We aimed to evaluate the predictive role of Nutritional Risk Index (NRI) in prevalence of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) in Chinese middle-aged and elderly male patients. Methods: Levels of serum albumin, prealbumin and hemoglobin were determined at hospital admission in 197 enrolled patients. The body mass index (BMI) was calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height (meters²). The NRI formula as follows: NRI= (1.519 × serum albumin, g/dL) + (41.7 × present weight (kg)/ideal body weight (kg)). Results: There were high levels of albumin and NRI in CAD cases as compared to controls. The percentages of malnutrition in all patients, CAD patients and control cases we.. View More»
