Relationship between the pattern of coronary artery disease risk factors and lipid ratios with five groups of body mass index in 28566 healthy adults.

Pattern of the coronary artery disease (CAD) risk factors across body mass index (BMI) categories remains uncertain. There is a different threshold of obesity for increasing cardiovascular hazard across populations, accordingly recognition and management of obesity and overweight can guide better control of CAD epidemic in the national level. To determine the discrepancy in the prevalence of CAD risk factors across five BMI categories.

Pattern of coronary artery disease risk factors in population younger than 55 years and above 55 years: a population study of 31999 healthy individuals.

More than eighty percent of patients with coronary heart diseases (CHD) have conventional risk factors. Prevalence of well known risk factors seems to show a different pattern in younger patients and individual above 55 years. To evaluate the pattern of conventional CHD risk factors in healthy individuals in two different age groups.

Trend of lipid ratios associated with well known risk factors of coronary artery disease in different age: a population based study of 31,999 healthy individuals.

Background: Developing current evidence in order to better assess the rates and pattern of the CAD risk factors among populations is pivotal in CAD risk stratification.

Methods: A large scale population based survey involving 31,999 healthy people was designed. Risk factors information was provided from medical history, physical examination and laboratory assessments.
