a
Elevated cardiovascular risk was defined as a projected 10-year risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease of 7.5% or greater using the Pooled Cohort Equations.
b
Indicates the absolute decrease in the prevalence of elevated cardiovascular risk between 2,001 to 2004 and 2017 to 2020.
c
The difference decomposing was used to estimate the contribution of population aging and other influencing factors to the change in the prevalence of elevated cardiovascular risk.
