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 Japan. To determine the risk factors for AMI, we performed a case-control study in unselected patients with AMI. Risk factors were assessed in 1,925 consecutive patients with a first AMI (age, 28-103 years old; men, 1,353; women, 572), who were admitted to one of the major institutes in Japan, and in 2,279 age-and sex-matched population-based controls. Hypertension (odds ratio (OR), 4.80; 95% confidence interval (CI), 3.80 to 5.95; p < 0.01), diabetes (OR, 3.44; 95% CI, 2.50 to 4.75; p < 0.01), current smoking (OR, 3.39; 95% CI, 2.78 to 4.18; p < 0.01), family history (OR, 1.84; 95% CI, 1.30 to 2.62; p < 0.01), and hypercholesterolemia (OR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.00 to 1.62; p < 0.05) were all independent risk factors for AMI. However, obesity (OR, 1.13; 95% CI, 0.92 to 1.50; NS) was not. Hypertension (OR, 4.80; 95% CI, 3.80 to 6.02; p < 0.01), current smoking (OR, 4.00; 95% CI, 3.02 to 5.00; p < 0.01), and diabetes (OR, 2.9; 95% CI, 2.00 to 4.04; p < 0.01) were all independent risk factors for AMI in men.
