Risk factors for acute myocardial infarction among men in the subarctic area.
OBJECTIVE: To describe and quantify the main risk factors for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) among males in the subarctic region of Sweden. DESIGN: Case-control study comprising a questionnaire and a clinical examination. SETTING: Kiruna, a town about 100 miles north of the Arctic Circle with a very high mortality from ischaemic heart disease. SUBJECTS: 219 patients 35 to 64 years of age admitted to Kiruna District Hospital with a first myocardial infarction between 1973 and 1985, and 438 age-matched controls. RESULTS: The main risk factors for the whole group were hypertension (odds ratio [OR] 3.5), family history of AMI (OR 2.2), diabetes mellitus (OR 2.2), and smoking (OR 1.7). The distribution and strength of the risk factors differed between Kiruna-born and migrants into the community. CONCLUSION: Apart from the traditional risk factors, environmental and psycho-social factors and population dynamics must be taken into account when assessing the risk for a man in Kiruna of developing a myocardial infarction.
