Supports earlier prevention efforts in Iranian adults; extends global data on regional MI onset variation but requires prospective confirmation.
Meta-Analysis
The mean age of first acute myocardial infarction in Iran is approximately 59 years, occurring earlier in men than women, which is slightly lower than global averages.
Nia et al. (2018) conducted a meta-analysis in Acute myocardial infarction. First acute myocardial infarction was evaluated on Mean age at first acute myocardial infarction (95% CI 58.9-60.4). The pooled mean age of first acute myocardial infarction in the Iranian population was 59 years (95% CI 58.9-60.4), occurring at a younger age in men (58.7 years) than in women (64.2 years).
