Structure of ischemic heart disease risk factors in the North Khanty population of Western Siberia
Abstract The relationships between serum lipids, blood pressures, anthropometric traits, age, and ischemic changes of the electrocardiogram (ECG) in the North Khanty population were studied.

| Summary: | Abstract The relationships between serum lipids, blood pressures, anthropometric traits, age, and ischemic changes of the electrocardiogram (ECG) in the North Khanty population were studied. To this end, eight morphophysiological variables—presumably risk factors for ischemic heart disease—have been subjected to a principal components analysis. Two principal components were extracted. The first revealed age dependency of the traits not associated with ischemic changes of myocardium in both sexes. A comparative analysis of the second component has shown that the chosen traits correlated with ischemic heart disease in males but not in females. Interpretation is given of the components obtained. |
