Understanding Your 10-Year ASCVD Risk Score
The ASCVD (Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease) score is a health metric that forecasts your likelihood of experiencing a major cardiovascular event, like a heart attack or stroke, within the next 10 years.
This prediction is based on the well-regarded Framingham Risk Score model and is calculated by analyzing key personal health factors:
- Age: Your risk profile within the model’s supported age range.
- Sex: Male or Female.
- Body Mass Index (BMI): A measure of body fat based on your height and weight.
- Smoking Status: A simple “Yes” or “No” to indicate if you are a smoker.
Your final risk assessment will be categorized into one of the following levels:
- Low Risk: Below 1%
- Intermediate Risk: Between 1% and 30%
- High Risk: Above 30%
Under Research: The ASCVD Risk analysis is currently under research.
