Possibly: International surveys have found some populations in the middle east may have slightly increased risks of heart attacks and strokes, based on genetic, dietary and cultural issues. Some risk factors like clusters of blood fat abnormalities or diabetes may also contribute, but smoking is also a major player. Good medical assessment of risk factors and intervention should mitigate increased risks.
