Abstract
This study aimed to determine whether the intake of antioxidants was a risk factor for developing coronary artery disease. A total of 399 participants who underwent coronary angiography were included in the study, and patients with coronary artery disease (cases) were compared with patients with a normal coronary angiography (controls). Antioxidant consumption was higher in the control group than in the cases. Specifically, the controls had a higher consumption of foods rich in lutein, zeaxanthin, β-carotene, and lycopene, but the difference did not reach statistical significance. The findings of the study suggest a possible beneficial association between coronary artery disease and the intake of dietary antioxidants.
