Key result
Compared to urban dwellers, rural dwellers had a significantly increased likelihood of possible or definite angina (multi-adjusted OR 2.82), which was strongly associated with mood disorders.
Why the study?
Does rural-to-urban migration and urban living affect the prevalence of angina symptoms and cardiovascular risk factors compared to rural living in Peru?
Population
989 adults in Peru, comprising rural dwellers, rural-to-urban migrants, and urban dwellers.
Comparison
Urban living and rural-to-urban migration vs Rural living (non-migrant rural dwellers)
Design
Cross-sectional

May overestimate angina via mood disorder confounding in rural Peru; leaves open migration effects on true CAD risk.
Cross-Sectional (n=989)
Does rural-to-urban migration and urban living affect the prevalence of angina symptoms and cardiovascular risk factors compared to rural living in Peru?
Odds Ratio: 2.82 (95% CI 1.68–4.73)
Absolute Event Rate: 60.2% vs 32.2%
The Rose angina questionnaire may overestimate the prevalence of coronary disease in rural developing populations due to confounding by high rates of mood disorders.
Zaman et al. (2010) conducted a cross-sectional in Angina symptoms and cardiovascular risk factors (n=989). Rural dwelling vs. Urban dwelling was evaluated on Possible or definite angina (measured by Rose angina questionnaire) (OR 2.82, 95% CI 1.68-4.73). Compared to urban dwellers, rural dwellers had a significantly increased likelihood of possible or definite angina (multi-adjusted OR 2.82), which was strongly associated with mood disorders.
