What are the risk factors for coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction in the population of Ceningan Island, Bali?
Odds Ratio: 3.6
In the population of Ceningan Island, Bali, where the prevalence of CHD is 11.5%, underweight and older age were identified as consistent risk factors for myocardial infarction.
A study on the prevalence of coronary heart disease (CHD) and its risk factors in Ceningan Island was conducted. The prevalence of CHD was 11.5%. Older age (odds ratio, OR, 27.0), underweight (OR, 3.6), systolic hypertension (OR, 4.6), high total cholesterol (OR, 5.9), and high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (OR, 3.1) were risk factors for a history of myocardial infarction (MI). By logistic regression analysis, only age (B=3.937) and underweight (B=1.275) consistently appeared to be risk factors for MI. The prevalence of CHD in the population was comparatively high.

Suastika et al. (2011) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary heart disease. Underweight was evaluated on History of myocardial infarction (MI) (OR 3.6). Underweight was identified as a significant risk factor for a history of myocardial infarction (OR 3.6) in the population of Ceningan Island, Bali.
