Abstract: Original ArticleCoronary artery disease is the major cause of death in the Brazilian population 1 and is directly related to the number and intensity of risk factors 2 , which may be generically divided into unchangeable (age and sex) and changeable. The major changeable risk factors are obesity, sedentary lifestyle, systemic arterial hypertension, smoking, dyslipidemia, and diabetes. Smoking and sedentary lifestyle are basically behavioral, and the remaining risk factors are associated with genetic and enviro… Show more

“…Higher prevalence of smokers among cases can create a concern as to whether cases were less health-orientated than controls. Nonetheless, previous studies showed that patients with P-CAD are more often smokers and have less favorable dietary patterns, than patients without P-CAD [ 6 , 9 , 11 , 29 , 30 , 31 ]. Therefore, higher prevalence of smokers among cases may be caused by parental modelling and parenting behavior effects on offspring, rather than control group selection [ 35 , 36 , 37 , 46 ].…”

“…Inadequate nutrition and smoking are highly prevalent among cardiovascular patients [ 9 ] and may cluster with other unfavorable behaviors such as excessive drinking and low activity level [ 10 ], increasing the cumulative effect of multiple risks. A study among young adults with P-CAD revealed that their smoking habit was correlated with parental smoking [ 11 ]. The study, however, did not provide information regarding characteristics of the diet in affected families.…”

“…This frequency is lower than that observed in schoolchildren (35%) and in several adult populations (40%) from Brazil 19,32 . However, any increase in the prevalence of dyslipidemia and overweight in adults and mainly in children is very important because they are among the most important risk factors for the development of coronary artery disease, one of the three main causes of morbidity and mortality in Brazil 11,33,34 .…”

“…Essas diferenças demonstram que os dois grupos de pacientes não estavam totalmente pareados, mas são justificáveis, pois idade avançada e sexo masculino constituem fatores de risco para doenças cardíacas resultantes de obstrução coronariana. Os resultados verificados nesse trabalho são coincidentes com aqueles que integram estudos sobre taxas de mortalidade para doenças cardiovasculares no Brasil, [34][35][36][37] além daqueles divulgados pelo Ministério da Saúde no ano de 2002. 38 As freqüências dos fenótipos eritrocitários Lewis dos indivíduos selecionados no presente estudo, independente da presença ou não de obstrução coronariana, apresentaram valores semelhantes àqueles estimados para a população brasileira.…”
