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.
