Notes

• This risk assessment tool is based on the Cox regression model of proportional hazards.
• Cardiovascular disease includes coronary disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral vascular arterial disease, and heart failure.
• It may be applied to men who have had no prior history of cardiovascular disease.
• BP: Blood pressure.
• HDL: High-density lipoprotein.

 
Equations used
 

RiskFactors = (ln(Age) * 3.06117) + (ln(Totalcholesterol) * 1.12370) - (ln(HDLcholesterol) * 0.93263) + (ln(SystolicBP) * SysBPFactor) + Cig + DM - 23.9802

Risk = 100 * (1 - 0.88936e(RiskFactors))
