Figure 2 Rates of Conventional Cardiac Risk Factors According to BMI Group
Family history (Hx) of coronary disease was defined as reported history of myocardial infarction or coronary artery disease (CAD) in a parent or sibling before age 55 years. Hypertension was defined as systolic blood pressure >140 mm Hg, diastolic blood pressure >90 mm Hg on repeated measurements, or hypertension chronically treated with antihypertensive medications. Diabetes mellitus was defined as existing diagnosis of diabetes or current use of insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents. Dyslipidemia is defined as total cholesterol >200 mg/dl or current use of statin therapy. p < 0.0001 linear trend. BMI = body mass index.

Figure 4 Factors Independently Associated With a >3-Year Reduction in the Patient Age at Which First NSTEMI Occurred in the CRUSADE Registry
The referent group for BMI comparisons is 18.6 to 25.0 kg/m2. The overall mean age of first NSTEMI was 66.1 ± 14.4 years. FHx CAD = family history of coronary disease defined as reported history of myocardial infarction or coronary artery disease in a parent or sibling before age 55 years; other abbreviations as in Figure 1.
