               Abstract

               This paper examines the relationship of pregnancy to coronary artery disease (CAD) after controlling for age and
               risk  factors. Data  on  the  timing  and  number  of  pregnancies  come  from  a  cross-sectional  survey  on  women's
               pregnancy histories. Inpatient records are  the  source of information about coronary artery disease and  its risk
               factors. Logistic regression was used to assess the chance of incurring CAD in association with pregnancy-related
               variables. Findings indicate that the likelihood of incurring CAD among women with more than 6 pregnancies is
               significantly increased. Furthermore, pregnancy at early and later reproductive ages entails a heightened risk of this
               disease. It is important to note that relation between pregnancy-related variables and CAD remains after controlling
               for metabolic risk factors. In other words, Pregnancy can lead to an increase in the risk of coronary artery disease
               independent of exacerbating the metabolic risk factors.

               In  recent  years  the  Gulf  countries  have  collectively  become  the  leading  destinations  for  the  semi-skilled  and
               unskilled laborers from India. The main aim of the study is to explore the living and working condition of Indian
               emigrants in Gulf countries. Data were collected from 3 blocks of Murshidabad district of West Bengal, India. 330
