Popis:	INTRODUCTION: The incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) might not be decreasing as much among young adults as in the general population in recent years. The goal of our study was to explore incidence, risk factors and prognosis of AMI among young patients in Iceland. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This was a retrospective case control study. The data was obtained from the SCAAR-SWEDEHEART database, medical records from Landspitali University Hospital and the death register from the Directorate of Health. The epidemiology of women ≤55 years and men ≤50 years diagnosed with AMI (STEMI/NSTEMI) in Iceland in 2014-2020 was compared with older patients. RESULTS: Of all the cases (2852), 344 patients (12%) were young. No change was demonstrated in the incidence of AMI in the young patients during the study period. The proportion of STEMI was higher among young patients (52% vs. 35%, p30 kg/m2)(47% vs. 36%, p
