Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases or heart diseases are one of the main causes of death in the world, which makes the need for continuous research into the factors that lead to heart diseases. In recent years, the number of deaths due to cardiovascular diseases is constantly increasing, which is mainly attributed to the lifestyle of developed countries. The purpose of this research study is to investigate demographic and clinical factors as well as tobacco and alcohol consumption factors that may be associated with the occurrence of heart attacks. To carry out this study, 2 databases were used containing subjects who did or did not develop a heart problem, their age, smoking and alcohol habits as well as clinical data on systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure, the value of cholesterol and blood glucose. The 1st database includes women and men in order to test whether there are significant fender differences in the incidence of cardiovascular disease. The 2nd database contains exclusively male gender for the study of risk factors leading to heart disease as according to studies men tend to develop coronary heart disease at a younger age than women. The basic statistical method used to predict cardiovascular disease is multiple logistic regression from which it emerged that factors related to the individual’s clinical condition, such as blood pressure and cholesterol value, as well as alcohol consumption or smoking habit are risk factors for coronary heart disease. Finally, gender differences in the occurrence of heart disease are compared, finding that women develop heart diseases at an older age than men, however the same risk factors are significant for women.
