CENTRAL ILLUSTRATION. ASCVD Associated With Low 10-Year But Elevated 30-Year Predicted Risk.

CENTRAL ILLUSTRATION

The percentage of young adults categorized as having elevated 10-year (≥7.5%) risk, low 10-year (<7.5%) but elevated 30-year (≥20%) predicted risk, and low 10-year (<7.5%) and low 30-year (<20%) predicted risks, and age- and sex-adjusted incidence rate ratios (IRRs) for ASCVD compared with young adults with low 10-year (<7.5%) and low 30-year (<20%) predicted risk. Also shown is the better performance of the 30-year risk prediction tool compared with the 10-year risk prediction tool.
