In the recently published INTERHEART study reported by Yusuf et al.: ‘‘risk factors were significantly ( p < 0.0001) related to acute myocardial infarction, except alcohol, which had a weaker association ( p ¼ 0.03). After multi-variate analysis, current smoking and raised ApoB/ApoA1 ratio (top vs. lowest quintile) were the two strongest risk factors, followed by history of diabetes, hypertension, and psychosocial factors. Body-mass index was related to risk of myocardial infarction, but this relation was weaker than that of abdominal obesity (waist/hip ratio).’’
