Elevated levels of factor VII (FVII) and fibrinogen (Fb) have been reported as risk factors for coronary heart disease in middle-aged and older adults. The purpose of this study was to determine whether increased levels of these and other hemostatic factors (FVIII, von Willebrand factor [vWF]) were associated with other coronary risk factors in young adults participating in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) Study. Hemostatic factors were measured in 1724 participants aged 23 to 35 years who were roughly balanced by sex and race (black/white). Fb was greater in women than men (black, 288 versus 253 mg/dL; white, 267 versus 240 mg/dL; overall P
