All participants aged\u2009\u2265\u200925\u00a0years were categorised into four groups based on self-reported cancer and MI. Multivariable logistic regressions were performed to examine characteristics associated with MI, with stratification by cancer status.

Several characteristics were associated with higher odds of MI in both cancer and non-cancer groups: female gender, younger age, obesity, currently smoking, residing in a major city, lower socioeconomic status, having more comorbidities and being physically less active. For most of these characteristics, the associated risk was higher in people with cancer. MI was negatively associated with seven individual HL domain scores, whilst having cancer was negatively associated with only one domain.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Risk factors for MI appeared to be similar in persons with and without cancer, but the associated relative risks are higher in those with cancer.
