In this study the data of Arak sub-cohort was taken from Isfahan healthy heart project which was performed in 2001. Cases were myocardial infracted hospitalized patients who were resident in Arak at the time of study. We showed the effect of different exposure, on myocardial infarction by estimating relative risk and population attributable fraction and 95% confidence interval. Results: In this study 150 cases were compared with 6339 sub-cohorts. The population attributable fraction for Kalleh-Pacheh was 19% (95% CI, 6 to 30%). This measure for diabetes and smoking was 31% (95% CI, 23 to 39%) and 41% (95% CI, 31 to 49%) respectively.
