There has been studied the actual dietary intake of copper and zinc in the open male population aged 20-59 years old (n = 1556) consisting of residents of Kiev. An age-associated tendency has been disclosed towards lowering copper intake and increase in the diet content of zinc. A correlation has been established between low intake of copper, high content of zinc and prevalence of ischemic heart disease and of such risk factors for its onset as dyslipoproteinemia, arterial hypertension and excessive body mass.
