In the current era the disease involves younger age population (45years and less) particularly in south Asian countries e.g. India, Pakistan and Bangladesh as compared to developed countries.

Less common risk factors are psychological stress, hyperhomosystinemia, physical inactivity, excessive food consumption (carbs and fats) and reuse of deep frying oil. Metabolic syndrome, prediabetes and diabetes are pretty common in young population of Southeast Asia.
