Abstract

The study aimed to evaluate the nutritional behavior of patients with heart failure in accordance with nutrition guidelines. This was an analytical cross-sectional study and conducted at the cardiology unit of a university hospital. The study sample consisted of 104 patients. We concluded that middle-aged patients, who had Stage I heart failure, whose fat percentage was 40%-59%, and whose metabolic age was young were found to be nourished by nutrition guidelines. It is recommended that the nutritional behaviors of heart failure patients be monitored and nursing interventions planned according to the guidelines.

Keywords: anthropometric measurements; dietary behaviors; heart failure; nutritional status.
