Identifying young adults at high risk of cardiometabolic disease using cluster analysis and the Framingham 30-yr risk score

Current strategies to reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in young adults are largely limited to those at extremes of risk. In cohort studies we have shown cluster analysis identified a large sub-group of adolescents with multiple risk factors.
