Fats of different origin in nutrition as a risk factor in the development of cerebro-vascular insult (stroke)

Abstract

The aim of the paper was to investigate whether nutrition based on animal fats in the group of patients who used them as dominant-group S ( the patients of Greek Orthodox creed), is a more significant risk factor in the development of stroke than nutrition based on vegetable fats-group A ( the patients of Muslim creed). At the same time, the aim of the article was to find the parameters of lipid status which would define in a better way the connection between hypercholesterolemia and apoplexy. The research was done on 230 patients with ischemic CVI who underwent hospital treatment at the Neurological Clinic of the Clinical-Hospital Centre in Pristine. The patients at the Neurological Clinic of the Clinical-Hospital Centre in Pristine were divided into two groups: Group A (n=130)- the patients who based their nutrition mainly on vegetable fats (the patients of Muslim creed) and Group S (n=100)- the patients who based their nutrition mainly on saturated fats ( the patients of Geek Orthodoc creed). It was stated that the intake of both vegetable and animal fats in larger quantities bears a risk of the development of the cerebra-vascular insult. The intake of saturated fats is a higher risk factor leading to the increased values of cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL-cholesterol in the group of patients of Greek Orthodox creed (group S) in comparison to the group of patients of Muslim creed (groupA). .

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je da se ispita da li ishrana bazirana na mastima životinjskog porekla u grupi pacijenata u kojoj je ona dominantna - grupa S (pacijenti pravoslavne veroispovesti), predstavlja značajniji faktor u pojavi cerebro vaskularnog insulta u odnosu na grupu u čijoj ishrani su dominirale masnoće biljnog porekla, grupa A (pacijenti muslimanske veroispovesti). U isto vreme, cilj je bio da se ispita i bolje definiše veza između hiperholesterolemije i apopleksije. U našem radu ispitano je 230 bolesnika sa ishemičnim CVI, koji su hospitalno lečeni u KBC-u Priština u periodu od 01.01.-01.08.1998. g. Pacijenti su selektovani u dve grupe: Grupa A (n=130) - pacijenti čija je ishrana bila bazirana na mastima biljnog porekla (pacijenti muslimanske veroispovesti) i Grupa S (n=100) - pacijenti čija je ishrana bila pretežno bazirana na mastima životinjskog porekla (pacijenti pravoslavne veroispovesti). Ustanovljeno je da i ishrana biljnim i animalnim mastima u većoj količini može doprineti razvoju cerebrovaskularnog insulta. S tim što unos zasićenih masti nosi znatno veći rizik u povećanju vrednosti lipidnih parametara u grupi pacijenta pravoslavne veroispovesti (Grupa S) u poređenju sa grupom pacijenata muslimanske veroispovesti (Grupa A). .
