![]() ![]() 3 Death rates from CHD are considerably lower in women than in men at younger ages, but often converge with increasing age. With the exception of type 1 diabetes, the incidence of MI was higher in men than in women for all risk factors.Ĭoronary heart disease (CHD) has been the leading cause of mortality worldwide for over 25 years, 1 2 and was estimated to be the cause of 17% of deaths globally in 2016. ![]() There was no evidence that any of these ratios of hazard ratios decreased with age (P>0.2). ![]() In women, systolic blood pressure and hypertension, smoking status and intensity, and diabetes were associated with higher hazard ratios for MI compared with men: ratio of hazard ratios 1.09 (95% confidence interval 1.02 to 1.16) for systolic blood pressure, 1.55 (1.32 to 1.83) for current smoking, 2.91 (1.56 to 5.45) for type 1 diabetes, and 1.47 (1.16 to 1.87) for type 2 diabetes. Higher blood pressure indices, smoking intensity, body mass index, and the presence of diabetes were associated with an increased risk of MI in men and women, but associations were attenuated with age. ![]() 5081 participants (1463 (28.8%) of whom were women) had MI over seven years’ mean follow-up, resulting in an incidence per 10 000 person years of 7.76 (95% confidence interval 7.37 to 8.16) for women and 24.35 (23.57 to 25.16) for men. ![]()
