Iranian women with coronary artery disease: not behind of the men.
Int J Cardiol. 2007 Jan 31; 115(1):103-4.IJ

Abstract

This study aimed to compare risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) in Iranian men and women with documented CAD. A total of 498 patients with CAD (255 male and 243 female) were studied and data on age, blood lipids, fasting blood glucose, blood pressure, body weight, height and waist circumferences were collected. The results showed that the mean age of the women with CAD was not significantly different from the men (58.0+/-10.4 vs. 56.4+/-12.8). Obesity and central obesity in Iranian women with CAD (43.5% and 88.5%) were more prevalent than Iranian men with CAD (18.7% and 42%) (p<0.0001). Except for diabetes, all other measured risk factors showed higher prevalence in the study women than the men.
