[Partially French Canadians are susceptible to increased cardiovascular risk factors: A population-based retrospective cohort study].

Background: Through various research lead in the past, it has been made evident that Quebec is home to higher rates of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors than other Canadian provinces. This proposed study will perform a retrospective analysis on Caucasian populations in order to analyze the cardiovascular risk factors in partially francophone populations in comparison to French and Non-French Canadians. Furthermore, we will closely analyze both genders of aforementioned populations.
