Lifestyle Cardiovascular Risk Score, Genetic Risk Score, and Myocardial Infarction in Hispanic/Latino Adults Living in Costa Rica

Abstract: BackgroundA lifestyle cardiovascular risk score (LCRS) and a genetic risk score (GRS) have been independently associated with myocardial infarction (MI) in Hispanics/Latinos. Interaction or joint association between these scores has not been examined. Thus, our aim was to assess interactive and joint associations between LCRS and GRS, and each individual lifestyle risk factor, on likelihood of MI.Methods and ResultsData included 1534 Costa Rican adults with nonfatal acute MI and 1534 matched controls. The LCRS… Show more

“…1,2 During the last two decades, the rate of the death of coronary disease is decreasing in developed countries, whereas it is increasing in developing countries which is mostly because of long lifetime, urbanization and lifestyle changes. 3 In the United States, the adjusted rate of death based age due to coronary disease has been declined to two third in four last decades which is the reflection of better diagnosis and reduce risk factors and also improvement of faster treatments and interventions for control of heart diseases. ACS needs a precise diagnosis and early hospitalization and prognosis of patients is directly associated with on time conducting vascularization, so non diagnosis or delayed diagnosis can have disaster clinical effects.…”

“…Odds ratios (ORs) for MI were 2.72 (95% CI: 2.33–3.17) per LCRS unit and 1.13 (95% CI: 1.06–1.21) per GRS unit, and there was a significant joint association for high tertiles of the GRS and LCRS as compared to low tertiles. According to those authors, improvements in a lifestyle can help prevent MI regardless of genetic predisposition [ 58 ].…”

“…Lifestyle factors, such as smoking, physical inactivity and alcohol consumption, all contribute independently to the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, and composite lifestyle risk scores (LRS) have been used previously to assess the combined effect of multiple lifestyle factors on cardiovascular disease development (Abdullah Said, Verweij, & Van Der Harst, 2018;Lé vesque, Poirier, Despré s, & Almé ras, 2017;Sotos-Prieto, Baylin, Campos, Qi, & Mattei, 2016). However, when applying LRS methodology to large collaborative consortium settings, challenges arise as not all lifestyle components in the LRS are available in all participating cohorts and/or may not be measured using the same instrument.…”
