Unhealthy lifestyles and ischaemic electrocardiographic abnormalities: the Persian Gulf Healthy Heart Study.
2008
We assessed prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors, ischaemic heart disease (IHD)
and unhealthy lifestyles in 3723 participants aged ≥ 25 years in the northern Persian Gulf region;
96.0% had ≥ 1 cardiovascular risk factor. Over 60% had unhealthy body weight, only 8.3% ate the
recommended amount of fruits and vegetables, 70.6% were physically inactive and 19.0% were
current smokers. Prevalence of electrocardiogram (ECG) with evidence of IHD was 12.7%. Present
or past smoking and truncal obesity were independently associated with IHD ECGs in men, and
past or present smoking and obesity in women. Hypertension and diabetes were independently
associated with increased risk of IHD ECG
