Key result
Low total energy intake was consistently inversely related to the development of ischaemic heart disease over 26 years of follow-up, suggesting a minimum intake below which risk increases.
Why the study?
Does low energy intake increase the risk of developing ischaemic heart disease?
Does low energy intake increase the risk of developing ischaemic heart disease?
Low energy intake may be an independent risk factor for the development of ischaemic heart disease.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Low energy intake may flag higher IHD risk; leaves open causality and need for prospective validation.
The relation between total energy intake and the development of ischaemic heart disease was investigated from a review of all available data including the results of 26 years of follow up from a longitudinal study of diet and ischaemic heart disease. A consistent inverse relation was found, whose strength and consistency are similar to those of other established risk factors. It is concluded that there may be a minimum energy intake below which the risk of ischaemic heart disease is increased.

Silman et al. (1985) conducted a review in ischaemic heart disease. low energy intake was evaluated on development of ischaemic heart disease. Low total energy intake was consistently inversely related to the development of ischaemic heart disease over 26 years of follow-up, suggesting a minimum intake below which risk increases.
