Implication

Rising AMI incidence in Japan may signal shifting risk profiles; challenges the Japanese paradox and supports updated surveillance studies.

Population

352 registered first-ever AMI cases (224 men, 128 women) from a stable population of approximately 55,000 in central Japan (Takashima AMI Registry) between 1990 and 2001.

Outcome

Incidence rates of AMI (per 100,000 person-years) and average annual change in percentage across the years 1990-2001hard clinical

The incidence of acute myocardial infarction in a Japanese population significantly increased between 1990 and 2001, challenging the traditional 'Japanese paradox' of low AMI rates despite worsening risk factors.
