ABSTRACT
Acute myocardial infarction [AMI] is prevalent and has serious consequences including re-infarction and death. Although the risk factors for AMI have been extensively studied in Western countries, they are less well documented in Iran. To determine the risk factors for AMI. We performed a case-control study in Military men patients hospitalized for AMI in Military hospitals. Risk factors were assessed in 150 consecutive patients with a first AMI [age 40 years old; and higher than 40], who were admitted to 502 hospital, and in 300 age-and sex-matched hospital-based controls. Family history OR=6.37; Cl [4.03- 10.07], current smoking OR=3.46; Cl [1.92 - 6.23]; PAR = 38%, Hypertension OR=1.75; Cl [1.16 -2.63] PAR = 17%, diabetes OR=2.2; Cl [1.2 -4.02] PAR = 29%, hypercholesterolemia OR=2.99; Cl [1.63 -5.51] PAR = 29%] and non physical activity OR=3.0 Cl [1.68 -5.38] PAR = 38% were all independent risk factors for AMI. Family history, current smoking, Hypertension, diabetes, non physical activity, and hypercholesterolemia are associated with AMI in Military men patients
