In recent years, dietary recommendations have shifted towards diets\u00a0high in plant-based foods and low in animal-based foods for the prevention of chronic diseases.<br \/><strong>Objective.<\/strong> This study aims to evaluate the relationship between seeds consumption, lipid profile and body mass index\u00a0(BMI) in a group of 889 (313 female and 576 male) randomly selected patients hospitalized in the Nitra Cardio Center,\u00a0Slovakia.<br \/><strong>Material and Methods.<\/strong> The data necessary for the evaluation the relationship between seeds consumption, lipid profiles\u00a0and BMI were obtained by a questionnaire method in closed-ended format. Data collection was carried out simultaneously\u00a0with the anthropometric and biochemical examinations of the respondents ensured by the Nitra Cardio Center. The\u00a0following parameters were assessed in the blood: total cholesterol (T-C), low-density cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density\u00a0cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides (TG), and glucose (GLU). Comparisons between groups were made utilizing one-way\u00a0analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by <em>Tukey's post hoc<\/em> test.<br \/><strong>Results.<\/strong> Respondents indicated pumpkin seeds as the most commonly consumed seeds (45.19% of women and 53.06%\u00a0of men) and their preference did not cause changes in lipid profile. Women who consume seeds 1-2 times\/month had\u00a0significantly lower levels of T-C and LDL-C compared to women non-consuming seeds (P < 0.05). In men, we did not\u00a0observed any changes in lipid profile. The lowest BMI in women was associated with flaxseed preference and in men\u00a0with sunflower preference. Increasing frequency of seeds consumption of women and men did not cause changes in BMI.<br \/><strong>Conclusions.<\/strong> Based on beneficial effects of seeds on cardiovascular risk factors, it seems that seeds consumption can be\u00a0considered as a useful therapeutic approach for reducing lipid profile and body mass index.<\/p>\n<p><strong>STRESZCZENIE<\/strong><br \/><strong>Wprowadzenie.<\/strong> Choroby uk\u0142adu kr\u0105\u017cenia (CVD) s\u0105 g\u0142\u00f3wn\u0105 przyczyn\u0105 zgon\u00f3w na ca\u0142ym \u015bwiecie i mo\u017cna im w du\u017cej\u00a0mierze zapobiec poprzez popraw\u0119 jako\u015bci diety i innych czynnik\u00f3w zwi\u0105zanych ze stylem \u017cycia.
