Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases are increasing rapidly while there is increasing evidence about  dietary antioxidants  protecting oxidative stress in chronic disorders including cardiovascular diseases. The objectives of the study were to find out  proportion of Dietary Total Antioxidant Capacity consumed by individual’s aged 25-50 years with cardiovascular disease residing in twin cities and determining relationship between Dietary Total Antioxidant Capacity and cardiovascular disorders of population under study. It was a descriptive cross sectional study with 227 participants. The study was conducted by making two clusters of famous parks and malls within Rawalpindi and Islamabad. Adapted Food Frequency questionnaire was used to calculate daily intake which was then multiplied to assigned ORAC/FRAP values to get DTAC. Daily DTAC was calculated as sum of all DTAC consumed in a day. Chi-square test of association was run which showed significant association between low dietary intakes and occurrence of cardiovascular diseases (x² =5.122, (1), p-value 0.024).

Keywords: Antioxidants; Cardiovascular diseases; Daily DTAC; Dietary antioxidants; DTAC; Oxidative stress.
