Key result
Rural Bangladesh shows ~2% CHD prevalence linked to older age, hyperglycemia, elevated ACR, and family history.

Provides baseline rural Bangladeshi prevalence and associations; hypothesis-generating for predictors, should not yet change practice.
Cross-Sectional (n=4,141)
The study establishes a baseline prevalence of CHD in rural Bangladesh at 1.85% and identifies age, hyperglycemia, albuminuria, and family history as key independent risk factors.
Sayeed et al. (1970) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary heart disease (n=4,141). Risk factors (age ≥45, hyperglycemia, high ACR, family history of CHD) vs. Subjects without these risk factors was evaluated on Age-adjusted prevalence of coronary heart disease (20-69 years) (95% CI 1.42-2.28). The age-adjusted prevalence of coronary heart disease in a rural Bangladeshi population was 1.85%, with age over 45, hyperglycemia, higher albumin-creatinine ratio, and family history of CHD identified as independent predictors.
