- OBJECTIVES: Risk factors for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are known to cluster and to be differently distributed in men and women. The aim of this study was to sex-specifically explore clusters of acknowledged AMI risk factors by factor analysis, and to study whether such clusters are associated with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), used as a subclinical measure of CHD. METHODS: In 2001-2005, 2328 subjects (30-74years) were randomly selected from two municipalities in Sweden (participation-rate 76%) and were assessed with regard to cardiovascular risk factors; 852 participants also had an echocardiographic examination performed. RESULTS: Factor analysis identified three identical factors in men and women. WHR, HOMA-ir, systolic blood pressure, and ApoB/ApoA1 loaded significantly on the principal "metabolic factor", leisure-time physical activity and self-rated health loaded significantly on the "vitality factor", and smoking and alcohol consumption loaded significantly on the "addiction factor". The metabolic factor was associated with LVH in both men (P<0.001) and women (P<0.001), whereas the addiction factor was associated with LVH solely in men (P=0.002). CONCLUSIONS: The consistent pattern in the clustering of acknowledged AMI risk factors suggests common underlying mechanisms in both men and women. However, whereas the metabolic factor was paramount in both men and women in the association with LVH, the addiction factor had an impact solely in men. As LVH often precedes AMI, a deeper understanding of risk factors for LVH, including consideration of the supposed sex differences, can be useful in order to explore prevention strategies for AMI. © 2013.
