Abstract: Objective To analyze the risk factors and prognoses of female patients less than 60 years of age with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods 75 female patients less than 60 years of age with AMIwere compared with 440 male patients at the state about smoking,hypertension,hyperlipemia,diabetes,occupations,body mass index(BMI),complications and mortality in hospital.Results The morbidity of hyperlipemia and the ratios of smoking and mental labors in female patients were significantly lower than in male patients(P<0.05,P<0.001,P<0.001,respectively);the morbidity of hypertension and the ratios of physic labors in female patients were significantly higher than in male patients(P<0.001,all);the morbidity of diabetes and BMIwere similar in both sexs.The incidence of complications in female patients was significantly higher than in male patients(P<0.05),the mortality in hospital was similar in both sexs.The incidence of complications was similar in both sex,after excluding other confounding factors.Conclusion Compared with male patients,there were less hyperlipemia;less mental labors,more physic labors;more hypertension in female patients younger than 60 years-old with AMI.The prognoses were similar in both sex.
