Key result
Hypertension is the most common risk factor in young MI patients, present in ~80%.
Why the study?
Myocardial infarction among youngsters with certain modifiable risk factors is a significant public health issue with limited data on associated risk factors in this population.
What is the prevalence of modifiable risk factors in young patients presenting with myocardial infarction?

What is the prevalence of modifiable risk factors in young patients presenting with myocardial infarction?
Modifiable risk factors, particularly hypertension and obesity, are highly prevalent in young adults suffering from myocardial infarction, underscoring the need for early targeted prevention and lifestyle interventions.
May support targeted screening for hypertension and obesity in young MI; leaves open causal roles pending prospective cohorts.
Background: Myocardial infarction among youngsters with certain risk factors frequently presenting in Emergency room and CCU. Modifiable risk factors are still significant issue in contemporary public health. Young patient are at higher risk who have certain modifiable risk factors. Prompt diagnosis and clinical interventions are the key to young patient survival there is a little data on myocardial infarction among youngsters with certain risk factors. Methodology: This study aims to investigate the association of risk factors with myocardial infarction focusing on factors such as age, weight, family history of myocardial infarction, hypertension, family history of hypertension, obesity, smoking, hyperlipidemia, sedentary life style, irregular sleep pattern, diabetes and family history of diabetes. The dataset for this study comprises 50 young participants male and female suffer from myocardial infarction. Statistical analysis including correlation and chi-square test were conducted to understand the relation between variable. Results: The study examined the association of risk factors with myocardial infarction among youngsters, focusing on factors such as age, bodyweight, family history of MI, hypertension, family history of hypertension, and duration of hypertension, hypertension not following up, obesity, family history of obesity, smoking, hyperlipidemia, sedentary life style, workload, working time hours, about sleep, diabetes and family history of diabetes. The dataset include 50 participants, and statistical analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between these variables. Out of these participants 76% (38) were male and 24% (12) were females. The analysis showed that age and certain risk factors were correlated with myocardial infarction among young individuals. Our study showed that the patients have above 80 kg with hypertension and hyperlipidemias are at higher risk of being affected from myocardial infarction in young age. Chi-square test also revealed the significant association of MI with risk factors in young age. Additionally irregular sleep and workload have significant role in MI in younger age. Smoking has no significant role in myocardial infarction in youngsters. Conclusion: The study findings suggest that young individuals with certain risk factors are at higher risk of developing myocardial infarction. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of lifestyle modification and interventions management to reducing the risk of myocardial infarction among young individuals because in early age it affects mental health and also difficult for person to maintain routine activities of life. These findings call for further research and targeted preventions to develop strategies for managing risk factors of MI and further complications.

Pakistan Journal of Medical & Cardiological Review (2026) conducted an observational in Myocardial infarction (n=50). Cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension, obesity, hyperlipidemia) was evaluated on Association and prevalence of risk factors with myocardial infarction. In young patients presenting with myocardial infarction, hypertension (80%) and body weight above 80 kg (76%) were the most prevalent risk factors, while smoking showed no significant role.
