Abstract Introduction Large epidemiological studies have shown that a family history of coronary heart disease (CHD) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. While a positive family history is not modifiable, it can be used to identify individuals in whom a more intensified strategy of preventions by intervening on modifiable risk factors such as hypertension, hypercholesterolemia or smoking should be developed. CHD is forecast to be the most common cause of death globally, including India by 2020. Hence this study is done to screen CAD in young adult population so that early intervention can be started. Aims and objectives To find the relative risk of coronary artery disease in young adults. Method After obtaining the approval for the study from institutional ethical committee, all the subjects who are willing to participate in the study were asked to sign an informed consent. Rose angina questionnaire was administered in young adults. The score taken was analyzed for prevalence and relative risk of coronary artery disease among the young adults. Higher the score the more the risk of having CAD. Results will analyzed using SPSS 14. Results Study was conducted to screen the normal individuals for the risk of CAD, this study showed the out of 100 individuals 82 were at low risk, 18 were at high risk of CAD among 100 individuals for intermittent 67 were at low risk and 33 showed signs of intermittent claudication. There was no difference between male female ratio and no correlation between BMI. Conclusion Findings of this study suggested that early identification of coronary artery disease can be screened through rose angina questionnaire so that early intervention can be administered along with life style modification.
