Abstract

Nowadays, investigators study about independent risk factors of MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION (MI). These factors without relation to other risk factors can cause coronary artery disease and MI. WAIST TO HIP RATIO (WHR) and HEIGHT have been considered to be correlated with MI. The aim of this study is to show the independent association of WHR and HEIGHT with MI. This is an observational case-control study from patients referring to Beheshti and Yahyanejad hospitals and after controlling for dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking and positive family history for MI and matching of age and sex, 150 cases with MI and 150 controls without MI were evaluated. WHR and HEIGHT were measured in cases and controls. Then, their means were compared in two groups by independent Hest and association of WHR and HEIGHT with presence of MI was evaluated. Means of WHR were 0.96 in cases and 0.92 in controls and their difference was 0.04 (P<0.001). In both sexes and in all age groups, WHR had a significant relation to MI. Mean of HEIGHT was 160.7 cm in cases and 163 cm in controls and their difference was 2.3 cm (P<0.05). For HEIGHT, mean difference was higher in men and in younger subjects. WHR is an independent risk factor for MI. Similarly, at least in men and in younger subjects, there is an independent association between HEIGHT and risk of MI.
