This study assessed the nutritional status and knowledge of 60 post-operative coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients in India. The results showed that most patients had a poor nutritional status, as over 60% were overweight or obese. Many patients had medical histories of diabetes and hypertension. The dietary surveys found that over 65% of patients consumed below the recommended daily calorie intake, with low protein and fiber intake. Patients' diets relied on readily available and inexpensive foods like refined wheat products, with high fat and low fruit and vegetable consumption. The study concluded that patients lacked nutritional knowledge and consumed an unbalanced diet, suggesting the need for pre-surgical nutrition education and status assessments.
