Trends in Acute Myocardial Infarction Incidence and Mortality Over 30 Years in Japan: Report From the MIYAGI-AMI Registry Study

Abstract: Background: Worldwide, the rate of aging is highest in Japan, especially the female population. To explore the trends for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in Japan, the MIYAGI-AMI Registry Study has been conducted for 30 years since 1979, whereby all AMI patients in the Miyagi prefecture are prospectively registered. In 1979,551 AMI patients (male/female 16,238/6,313) were registered from 43 hospitals. The age-adjusted incidence of AMI (/100,000 persons/year) increased from 7.4 in 1979 to 27.0 in 2008 (P<0.00… Show more

“…(16) AMI is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. (17,18) The results of the current study indicate that, after adjustment for potential confounding factors, hip fracture is independently associated with a 29% increase in risk of developing AMI compared with controls. In addition, the risk of AMI after hip fracture is more prominent in elderly patients, women, and in patients with other underlying diseases.…”

“…Due to the improvement of medical equipment and medical care, the mortality of AMI is decreasing. However, a steadily increasing incidence rate of AMI can still be observed (Takii et al 2010). Therefore, there is an increased need for conducting research to identify the factors that affect the survival and prognosis of patients with AMI following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).…”

“…1). At present, the absolute risk (incidence and mortality) of CAD in Japan is much lower than that observed in Western countries [14][15][16][17] ; however, due to recent increases in the LDL-C and TC levels in Japanese individuals as a result of Westernization of the Japanese lifestyle 18,19) , and the findings of a report showing that the incidence of CAD is increasing in some regions of Japan 19,20) , there is concern that the incidence of CAD will rise throughout Japan. Therefore, these guidelines define diagnostic criteria for assessing dyslipidemia during screening to prevent the development of arteriosclerosis from the perspective of preventing CAD, as shown in Table 1.…”
