Mean blood pressure and smoking were identified as independent risk factors for possible myocardial infarction in a rural Japanese cohort over a 15.5-year follow-up.
Shimozato et al. (1996) conducted a cohort in Ischemic heart disease (n=2,329). Risk factors (blood pressure, BMI, smoking, albuminuria) was evaluated on Possible myocardial infarction (PMI) and sudden death within 24 hours (24SD). Mean blood pressure and smoking were identified as independent risk factors for possible myocardial infarction, which had an incidence of 1.01 per 1,000 person-years in men and 0.59 in women.
