Understanding Cardiovascular Risk
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) refers to conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels, including heart attacks and strokes. This calculator uses the Framingham Risk Score, a widely used assessment tool that estimates your 10-year risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
Risk Categories:
- Low Risk (<10%): You have a lower chance of developing cardiovascular disease in the next 10 years.
- Moderate Risk (10-20%): You have a moderate chance of developing cardiovascular disease in the next 10 years.
- High Risk (>20%): You have a higher chance of developing cardiovascular disease in the next 10 years.
Key Risk Factors:
- Age and Gender: Risk increases with age, and patterns differ between men and women.
- Blood Pressure: Higher blood pressure increases cardiovascular risk.
- Cholesterol Levels: Higher total cholesterol and lower HDL ("good") cholesterol increase risk.
- Smoking: Smoking significantly increases cardiovascular risk.
- Diabetes: Having diabetes increases your risk of cardiovascular disease.
- Family History: A family history of premature heart disease increases your risk.
