Why the study?
Do higher risk factor levels at younger ages explain the earlier age of AMI in South Asians compared with individuals in other countries?
Do higher risk factor levels at younger ages explain the earlier age of AMI in South Asians compared with individuals in other countries?
Higher levels of risk factors at younger ages largely explain the earlier onset of acute myocardial infarction in South Asians.
May support earlier risk factor screening in South Asians; leaves open prospective confirmation of impact on AMI onset.
The earlier age of AMI in South Asians can be largely explained by higher risk factor levels at younger ages.
