The study examined the results of 300 autopsies performed on U.S. soldiers who had died in the . Despite the fact that the average age of the soldiers was just 22 years old, 77% of them had visible signs of coronary atherosclerosis. This study showed that heart disease could affect people at a young age and was not just a problem for older individuals.

In 1992, a report had shown that microscopic fatty streaks were noticed in the left anterior descending artery in over 50% of children aged 10–14. And 8% had more notable accumulations of extracellular lipid.
