Analyzing the association CAD risk factors such as gender, age, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, smoking, and alcohol and AAC score.
Results: The results of the analysis using the Chi Square comparative test showed that there was a significant relationship between age (p=0.000), hypertension (p=0.017), diabetes (p=0.006), in othe words there is no significant relationship between gender (p = 0.613), smoking (p=0.22) and alcohol (p=0.28) with AAC score.
