Model 1: Baseline model including traditional cardiovascular risk factors such as age, sex, body mass index, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Model 2: Extends Model 1 by incorporating the coronary artery calcium (CAC) score. Model 3: Further includes the Google Satellite Image (GSI) risk score alongside the variables in Model 2. Model 4: Integrates the social vulnerability index (SVI) into Model 3.
