Key result
A risk score based on four biological risk factors explained 40-60% of the intra-urban geographical variation in myocardial infarction incidence and mortality.
Why the study?
Do biological risk factors and socio-economic circumstances account for the differences in incidence of and mortality from myocardial infarction in an urban population?

Do biological risk factors and socio-economic circumstances account for the differences in incidence of and mortality from myocardial infarction in an urban population?
Engström et al. (2000) conducted an observational in Myocardial infarction (n=28,466). Biological risk factors and socio-economic circumstances was evaluated on Incidence and mortality from myocardial infarction. A risk score based on four biological risk factors explained 40-60% of the intra-urban geographical variation in myocardial infarction incidence and mortality.
