Data were collected and analyzed directly in the software SPSS 15. Results: We studied 61 cases and 122 controls. The groups were similar in sex and place of residence.

The inactivity rate was 93.4 % cases and 77.8 % in controls with one (OR = 4.0 CI = 1.3 - 12.1, p = 0.014). Obesity, overweight, mixed dyslipidemia, smoking, and family history of cardiovascular disease were not significantly different (p = 0.749, 0.827, 0.751, 0.816, 0.616 respectively).
