Can somebody tell me the sociocultural factors for myocardial infarction?


Can somebody tell me the sociocultural factors for myocardial infarction?

poverty/SES and race.

Huh? MI's are not limited to a certain cultural background- everyone can get them and women are more prone to men prior to menopause. Other than those statistics, people who live on junk food, have a family history of members having MI's all are at greater risk than someone who eats wholesome foods and has no family history.

smoking, drinking, inactive lifestyle, high fat, high cholesterol diet. Genetic predisposition. An MI is non discriminatory. It can happen to anyone from any race, gender, class, or socio economic background.
