Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between nutritional status, quality of life and comorbidities in individuals with cardiovascular disease. Methods: he study was carried out with 127 patients in the cardiology clinic. Demographic data were recorded, anthropometric measurements were performed. NRS-2002 and CONUT scores were used to determine the risk of malnutrition, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) was used to evaluate the comorbidity status, SF-12 quality of life scale was used to evaluate the quality of life. Results: The mean CCI value of the participants was 3.96±1.81, CONUT score was 2.31±2.27, SF-12 physical component score was 34.70±8.97, mental component score was 39.33±9.56. NRS-2002 score was positively correlated with CCI (r=0.400), CONUT score (r=0.561) and negatively correlated with SF-12 physical (r=-0.502), mental (r=-0.468) component scores. CCI score was negatively correlated with both physical (r=-0.309), mental (r=-0.296) component scores of SF-12 (p<0.05). In addition, an increase of 1 SD in NRS score were predicted to reduce the physical and mental component scores of SF-12 by 0.185 and 0.215, respectively. CONUT score were also found to have a negative effect on the physical component of SF-12 (p<0.05). Conclusions: It was concluded that the risk of malnutrition is high in individuals with cardiovascular diseases.
