Notes
- 10-year risk uses the Pooled Cohort Equations (PCE), validated for ages 40–79.
- For ages 20–39, 10-year risk is estimated but not formally validated.
- Lifetime risk is based on the Berry et al. aggregate risk factor burden approach through age 85.
- "Other" race uses White coefficients per ACC/AHA recommendation.
- Risk may be overestimated in some populations — use clinical judgment.
