Trends in risk factors among young patients with acute myocardial infarction: a nationwide cohort study
Three in four young AMI patients have at least one known risk factor, of which obesity is the most common. Risk factor burden and clinical outcomes are worse among females. Prevention strategies and enhanced follow-up for young AMI patients should be prioritized. Further studies are needed to investigate sex-specific risk factors.
