Cardiometabolic Syndrome is highly correlated with Myocardial Infarction occurrence especially among urban-dwellers even after controlling for medical (e.g. smoking status) risk factors and demographic (education level, emotional support, age, and lack of health insurance) risk factors.
Highlights:
We conducted Multivariate Logistic Regression:
The natural log is important to understand when converting regression equations to risk scoring:
There is a significant relationship between CMS and MI occurrence • When stratified by area of residence, urban dwellers have a much stronger relationship between CMS and occurrence of MI rather than rural dwellers. • More longitudinal studies need to be done to create a more objective test in determining the level of chronic stress due to potential allosteric load (as seen in Figure 6) and how this has an impact on chronic health. • Health care professionals should be made aware of the potential effect of allostatic load from chronic stress on cardiovascular disease.
