Abstract

Background: There is growing concern about increasing rates of obesity in young people, and increasing ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) at a younger age. There are only a few studies performed to study the risk factors in STEMI among young populations.

Methods: Retrospective chart reviews on all first event STEMI patients between December 2005 and July 2007 were performed. A young population was defined as: men <45 years of age and women <55 years of age.

Results: Among 206 patients with STEMI, 36 were young. In young patients with STEMI, 78 % were obese compared with 35 % obese, non-young (p<0.001). Also, among young patients with STEMI, family history of coronary heart disease (CHD) was positive in 39 %, compared with 19 % in non-young patients (p=0.009). This significance for obesity and family history persisted after adjusting for other risk factors using logistic regression (OR 2.96 to 17.75, 95 % CI, p<0.0001 and OR 1.36 to 7.47, 95 % CI, p=0.008, respectively).

Conclusion: Obesity and family history of CHD were major risk factors with a higher prevalence in young patients with STEMI than non-young patients.

ST段抬高型心肌梗死年轻患者肥胖患病率高

背景:越来越多的人关注年轻人肥胖率的增加，以及年轻时ST段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI)的增加。只有少数研究对年轻人群中STEMI的危险因素进行了研究。方法:回顾性分析2005年12月至2007年7月间所有首次STEMI患者的病历。结果:206例STEMI患者中，36例为年轻人。在年轻STEMI患者中，78%为肥胖，而非年轻的肥胖患者为35% (p结论:肥胖和冠心病家族史是年轻STEMI患者中患病率高于非年轻STEMI患者的主要危险因素。
