Abstract

Background and Aims : Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) treatment and diagnostic methods have been increasing so far. Researchers have been studying markers and risk scores for determine the CVD risks. Morbidity and mortality rate did not decreasing all the developed and developing country. The world medical biggest problem is we could not decrease the number of young adults with CVD and mortality rate is getting younger. C reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid A protein (SAA) are predictors cardiovascular disease. Elevated SAA increases the risk of atherosclerotic ischemia. . Therefore, aim of this study was to determine the risk of CVD in young adults aged 18-25 years with biomarkers.Methods: Aim of this study was to determine the risk of CVD in young adults aged between 18-25 years with biomarkers. A total of 116 people were surveyed, including 45 men (38.79%) and 71 women (61.2%), with an average age of 21.96±1.85.Results: CVD risk is <1%-2.8% by Framingham risk score. The prevalence of overweight was 5.2%, hypertension 7.8%, triglyceride 16.4%, LDL 3.5%, and glucose 38.8%. Framingham risk scores are weakly correlated with LDL and diastolic pressure, respectively.CRP is strongly correlated with SAA (r = 0.87, p <0.0001).CRP varied depending on LDL and glucose levels (p = 0.006 and p = 0.03, respectively).Conclusions: Therefore, in young people, CRP may be a potential marker for CVD risk.
