Haem Iron Intake Is Associated with Increased Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events, All-Cause Mortality, Congestive Cardiac Failure, and Coronary Revascularisation in Older Men: The Concord Health and Ageing in Men Project.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nutritional intake can influence major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Dietary iron is found in two forms: haem-iron (HI) only found in animal sources and non-haem iron (NHI) present mostly in plant sources.

Objective

We evaluated the associations between dietary iron intakes with MACE and iron status biomarkers.

Design

Prospective cohort study.

Setting

The Concord Health and Ageing in Men Project, Sydney, Australia.

Participants

539 community-dwelling older Australian men aged 75 years and older.

Methods

Men underwent nutritional assessment using a validated diet history questionnaire. Entries were converted to food groups and nutrients. The dietary calculation was used to derive HI and NHI intakes from total iron intakes. Analys
