Abstract

The current study was designed for risk assessment of different factors like smoking, diabetes, obesity, and gender in the development of myocardial infarction (MI). A total of one hundred and twelve participants (n=112) was included in this case and control study. They were further divided into two groups. Group A, constituted of fifty controls whereas sixty-two age and sex-matched confirmed cases of Myocardial Infarction were selected for group B. Specially design questionnaire was filled and response form was collected from different hospitals of Lahore. Body mass index (BMI) was used to determine the obesity. The current study demonstrated that the advanced age is itself a risk factor of MI, other factors like smoking, diabetes and obesity were also found to be statistically significant contributory elements. From the results of current study and past literature it is very much evident that above mentioned risk factors have significant role in sudden cardiac death by potentiating the MI. So, by avoiding or controlling these risk factors a deadly event myocardial infarction can be avoided.
