A cross-sectional study examined adults aged 21 to 35 years who underwent left cardiac catheterization in the Cardiovascular Center for Puerto Rico and the Caribbean during 2008-2012 due to @entity583 . Demographic characteristics, clinical risk factors, and the extent of CAD were documented. Chi-square statistic or Fisher's exact test was used to compare the distribution of demographic, clinical, and lifestyle characteristics across CAD extent. Polytomous logistic regression models were fitted to estimate the prevalence odds ratios (POR) with 95% confidence intervals (Cl) for @entity301 ( @entity301 ) compared with normal coronary anatomy. Statistical analyses were performed using Stata 11.0. Sixty-three (n = 63) adults were evaluated (81% were @entity1 ). The mean age was 31    4 years. The most frequent clinical risk factors were history of @entity286 use, hyper @entity2701 , and @entity2299 . @entity28 was present in 45.9% of subjects and @entity301 was present in 52.38% of subjects. @entity28 and family history of CAD were significantly associated with @entity301 when adjusted by age. @entity28 @entity1 had 5.94 times the possibility of having @entity301 than normal weight @entity1 . @entity28 was the most important treatable predictor of premature obstructive CAD in our young adult population.
