“…To the best of our knowledge, this meta‐analysis is the first comparing risk factors of PCAD in patients and healthy age‐ and sex‐matched individuals in Iran. The aforementioned risk factors are also highly relevant to the metabolic syndrome, a CAD determinant, but only few studies have presented its association with CAD in the young in Iran, as well as elsewhere in the world . In a recent study, we compared PCAD risk factors with late‐onset CAD ones; it was found that smoking and family history of CAD were more common in PCAD patients compared to older CAD patients in Iran, while diabetes mellitus and hypertension were less prevalent .…”

There are limited data available on the prevalence of MetS in Indian population because of varied extent of urbanization, lifestyle patterns, and socioeconomic/ cultural factors.…”
