The aim of this study was to examine the association between tea, coffee, and soft drink consumption and coronary artery stenosis in patients undergoing coronary angiography. </span></p><p><span class="fontstyle0"><strong>Methods</strong>: </span><span class="fontstyle2">Out of all the patients, 208 cases (101 Female) with 57.81 ± 12.18 (mean ± SD) were assigned to participate in this cross‑sectional study. In total, 168‑items, semi‑quantitative food frequency questionnaire collected for assessments of dietary intakes of black tea, coffee, caffeine, and soft drinks and record demographic and clinical questionnaire.<br /></span></p><p><span class="fontstyle0"><strong>Results</strong>: </span><span class="fontstyle2">There were negative association between arteries with stenosis of more than 50% number with dietary intakes of tea (</span><span class="fontstyle3">P </span><span class="fontstyle2">= 0.011, r = – 0.187), coffee (</span><span class="fontstyle3">P </span><span class="fontstyle2">= 0.069, r = – 0.098) intakes, and dietary caffeine intake (</span><span class="fontstyle3">P </span><span class="fontstyle2">= 0.043, r = –0.118). The high consumptions of soft drinks (</span><span class="fontstyle3">P </span><span class="fontstyle2">= 0.005, r = 0.387) were associated with an enhancement in arteries with stenosis of more than 50% number. In addition, dietary consumption of black tea have a negatively significant association with the history of previous angiography (</span><span class="fontstyle3">P </span><span class="fontstyle2">= 0.044, r = –0.121), the history of previous<br />Stanton (</span><span class="fontstyle3">P </span><span class="fontstyle2">= 0.035, r = –0.132), and coronary artery bypass graft surgery nomination (</span><span class="fontstyle3">P </span><span class="fontstyle2">= 0.008, r = –0.216). Coffee consumption showed a significant negative relationship with engagement for coronary artery bypass graft surgery (</span><span class="fontstyle3">P </span><span class="fontstyle2">= 0.004, r = –0.598). </span></p><p><strong></strong><span class="fontstyle0"><strong>Conclusions</strong>: </span><span class="fontstyle2">Dietary intakes of tea, coffee, and caffeine may have a negative relationship with CAD and cardio vascular diseases. Healthy dietary lifestyle is an important issue for the prevention of chronic diseases.<br /></span></p><p><span class="fontstyle0" style="color: #00652e;"><strong>Keywords</strong>: </span><span class="fontstyle3">Caffeine, carbonated beverages, coffee, coronary stenosis, tea</span></p>http://ijpm.mui.ac.ir/index.php/ijpm/article/view/2163http://ijpm.mui.ac.ir/index.php/ijpm/article/download/2163/717717959
