The effects of unhealthy dietary behavior on blood lipids(TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C) and lipid peroxides (LPO) and the occurrence of coronary heart disease(CHD) were measured in 97 CHD patients and 97 controls without any clinical appearance of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases. The results showed that the serum level of TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C and LPO were significantly higher in CHD group than control group. More unhealthy dietary behavior was observed in CHD group than in control group. The odds ratio of the population with more than 3 items of unhealthy dietary behavior was 3.88. The results of this study suggested that unhealthy dietary behavior might play an important role in increasing the risk of CHD.
