40 views3 pages

Document Summary

Odds of being exposed if you have the disease: a/c. Odds of being exposed if you do not have the disease: b/d. Although more than 80% of the global burden of cardiovascular disease occurs in low-income and middle-income countries, knowledge of the importance of risk factors is largely derived from developed countries. Therefore, the effect of such factors on risk of coronary heart disease in most regions of the world is unknown. We established a standardised case-control study of acute myocardial infarction in. The relation of smoking, history of hypertension or diabetes, waist/hip ratio, dietary patterns, physical activity, consumption of alcohol, blood apolipoproteins (apo), and psychosocial factors to myocardial infarction are reported here. Odds ratios and their 99% cis for the association of risk factors to myocardial infarction and their population attributable risks (par) were calculated. Red = disease ; yellow = exposures. Characteristics: a cohort of subjects free of the outcome is followed and compared based on the exposure.
