This study aimed to compare coronary risk factors (CRFs) in Eastern Taiwan males between from 1993 to 1999 (pre) and from 2000 to 2006 (post) to understand the trends in CRFs in eastern Taiwan middle-age male. Subjects were compared between those who confirmed with angiographically patent coronary artery and those who suffered from the first time acute myocardial infarction. According to date that subjects had angiography procedure (pre vs. post) and the result of angiography (infarction vs. patent), CRFs in subjects were compared. CRFs include smoking, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, body mass index (BMI) and atherosclerosis index (AI). Only subjects with complete record in all CRFs were enrolled for analyses. A total of 608 subjects met the enroll criteria with mean age 52.0±8.5 years. Two hundreds and ninety-two subjects were in infarction group and within them 70 were in the pre subgroup and 222 were in the post subgroup. Three hundreds and sixteen were in patent group and within them 66 were in the pre subgroup and 250 were in the post subgroup. Major group difference was found in total cholesterol in pre period, and hypertension and diabetes were found in post period. Smoking, high/ low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and AI were significant different in both pre and post period. Smoking, high and low density lipoprotein cholesterol, and AI were mutual risk factors in eastern Taiwan middle-age males with AMI. |
