Eating Timing and Frequency as a Predictor of Hospitalization and/or Mortality From Coronary Artery Disease: The Linked CCHS-DAD-CMDB 2004-2013 Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major overlapping challenge in both clinical and public health realms due to high rates of hospitalization and mortality. Despite nutrition being a key risk factor for CAD, little is known about eating timing and frequency in Canadians or their relation to risk of hospitalization and/or mortality from CAD.

Methods

Breakfast consumption, between-meal consumption, eating frequency, and established CAD risk factors were assessed at baseline in 13,328 adults free of cancer and CAD from the 2004 Canadian Community Health Survey, Cycle 2.2, Nutrition Focus and were linked to administrative health databases to determine incidence of hospitalization and/or mortality from CAD in the following 9 years. Multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios
