Association between energy intake patterns and outcome in US heart failure patients

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association between dietary energy patterns, calories, and the outcomes of heart failure (HF) is still unclear.

Objectives

To evaluate the proper energy intake patterns and daily calorie intake in patients with heart failure among US adults.

Methods

The data were derived from the 2001–2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). A calorie intake pattern variable was created using latent class analysis (LCA) based on the calorie ratio of three major nutrients. Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to evaluate the hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of the association between calorie intake and energy patterns. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality.

Results

Among 991 participants (mean
