How likely is it for an obese 20 yr. old to have a heart attack?

I’m working on a project for my health class. Each person gets a hypothetical man/woman and we have to think of what health problems he/she might have and how they could prevent them. I got a 20 year old morbidly obese female. Would a heart attack be something I could put in my project? We also have to assume that these people get routine check-ups and such…

Best Answer

It’s very unlikely at 20 years old, but it can happen with pre-existing or congenital conditions.
