“…The values were similar. In both groups the intake of Mg, Ca, Zn, Cu, Mn, energy, thiamin, riboflavin, and folic acid fell short of those recommended for individual intake in the older population according to recommended dietary allowances (RDAs) [16]and/or dietary reference intakes (DRIs) [17], whereas the data for vitamins A, C and niacin were above the RDAs. The intake of K and proteins was within the RDAs.…”

Background and Aims: Anorexia, nausea and premature satiety with eating, prevalent in congestive heart failure (CHF), have been held responsible for reduced dietary intake and deficiency of magnesium, potassium and probably other nutrients. Since solid data is not available, this study was undertaken with the following aims (1) to assess dietary intake in CHF, (2) to compare dietary intake in older CHF patients with a similar patient population free of CHF (control group), and (3) to evaluate these data in patients with moderate versus severe CHF. Methods and Results: Dietary intake of 57 consecutively hospitalized furosemide-treated CHF patients over the age of 60 was compared with that of 40 similar patients free of CHF. In addition, a statistical analysis was performed comparing the data of the 37 patients with moderate versus the 20 patients with severe CHF. Dietary content of various nutrients was assessed with the food frequency recall technique. Dietary intake was comparable in the two respective pairs of groups. However, the intake of magnesium, calcium, zinc, copper, manganese, energy, thiamin, riboflavin, and folate in all subgroups fell short of recommended levels for intake, while vitamins A, C and niacin contents exceeded those recommended. Intakes of potassium andproteins were within the recommended values. Conclusions: CHF per se, even severe CHF, is not responsible for a reduced dietary intake of various nutrients. A population-related dietary culture, old age or other chronic conditions, rather than CHF, might be mainly involved. The increased intake of vitamins A, C and niacin in our patients may be attributed to the high content of fruits and vegetables in the Mediterranean diet. Insufficient intake of the above-mentioned group of electrolytes and essential nutrients may contribute to the frequently observed negative balance of some of them. This is especially relevant in furosemide-treated CHF patients. Therefore, supplementation should be considered.

“…106 The concept of RDAs was expanded to the new guidelines, the Dietary Reference Intakes, which include the following reference values: estimated average requirement (EAR), RDA, adequate intake (AI), and tolerable upper intake level (UL). The criteria for estimating recommended ingestion of vitamin C can be applied to each of these Dietary Reference Intakes categories.…”

“…The recommendations are for the U.S. and Canada. On the basis of new Food and Nutrition Board guidelines, the RDAs were calculated from estimated average requirement (EAR) values, those estimated to meet the nutrient requirement of half the individuals in a group (2). The EAR for vitamin C was selected as 80% saturation of neutrophils with little urinary loss (1).…”

The recently released Recommended Dietary Allowance of vitamin C for women, 75 mg daily, was based on data for men. We now report results of a depletion-repletion study with healthy young women hospitalized for 186 ؉͞؊ 28 days, using vitamin C doses of 30 -2,500 mg daily. The relationship between dose and steadystate plasma concentration was sigmoidal. Only doses above 100 mg were beyond the linear portion of the curve. Plasma and circulating cells saturated at 400 mg daily, with urinary elimination of higher doses. Biomarkers of endogenous oxidant stress, plasma and urine F2-isoprostanes, and urine levels of a major metabolite of F 2-isoprostanes were unchanged by vitamin C at all doses, suggesting this vitamin does not alter endogenous lipid peroxidation in healthy young women. By using Food and Nutrition Board guidelines, the data indicate that the Recommended Dietary Allowance for young women should be increased to 90 mg daily.
