RISK FACTORS AND PREDICTION OF MIOCARDIAL INFARCTION IN MALES OF DIFFERENT AGE

Abstract

Aim. To conduct complex evaluation of MI risk factors in men taking their agespecific qualities, and to invent prediction calculator of MI based upon the data obtained.Material and methods. Totally, 112 males with Q and non-Q MI included, at the age 45-74 y.o., mean age — 58,9±0,6 y.o. In all patients we assessed clinical and anamnestic data, parameters of lipid, carbohydrate metabolism, sex hormones levels, CRP, levels of hypodynamia, depression and anxiety via questionnaires.Results. For males of adult age with MI the most significant factors were smoking, lipid disorders (mostly due to LDL increase), overweight and abdominal obesity; for older males — additionally arterial hypertension (AH), hypodynamia, inheritance for coronary heart disease (CHD), carbohydrate metabolism disorders with insulin resistance, and abdominal obesity.Conclusion. To predict the risk of MI with statistical methods, a calculator was invented, which make it to estimate the probability of MI development in a patient taken their age-specific risks.
