In my experience of 32 years in Delhi, Haryana, Punjab & surrounding states patients of Coronary artery disease in Delhi & North India are split as follows - if we take their ethnicity, Banias (Aggarwals , Jains , gupta etc) 33%, Punjabis 20%, Brahmins 15%, Farmers 10% , Muslims 10% & rest are mixed ethnicity This was told by Padma Bhushan awardee Cardiologist Dr. T.S Kler, who works as Chairman of Cardiology at Fortis Memorial & research Institute, Gurugram, in a press conference. He says that “in my experience being a Bania is addition risk factor for CAD, angina & heart attacks. This may be due to their sedentary life-style, taking too much of sweets, obesity & might be genetic factors”
