Can a healthy person get peripheral artery disease? (PAD)
PAD is extremely common and affects as many as 5 percent of all adults and 20 percent of people over age 65. You're more likely to develop PAD if you are 50 years old or older; smoke or have ever smoked; have diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol; or have a parent or sibling diagnosed with PAD.

The most characteristic symptom of PAD is claudication which is a pain in the lower extremity muscles brought on by walking and relieved with rest. Although claudication has traditionally been described as cramping pain, some patients report leg fatigue, weakness, pressure, or aching.Jul 7, 2022

The main risk factor for PAD is smoking. Other risk factors include older age and diseases like diabetes, high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. Nov 16, 2016
