Distribution of Combined 10-Year Coronary Heart Disease and Lifetime Cardiovascular Disease Predicted Risk Strata among 2070 Cardiovascular Disease-Free Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery-2 Participants, with High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Included as an Additional Major Risk Factor for Lifetime Cardiovascular Disease Predicted Risk

	Low 10-year coronary heart disease risk/low lifetime cardiovascular disease risk	Low 10-year coronary heart disease risk/high lifetime cardiovascular disease risk	High 10-year coronary heart disease risk

Lifetime predicted cardiovascular disease risk- standard algorithm (high density lipoprotein cholesterol not included)	321, 15.5%	993, 48.0%	756, 36.5%
Lifetime predicted cardiovascular disease risk- with low high density lipoprotein cholesterol^a as major risk factor	114, 5.5%	1200, 58.0%	756, 36.5%

Results are all N, %. 10-year hard coronary heart disease risk calculated based on Framingham Risk Score, with “low” defined as <10% 10-year predicted coronary heart disease risk and absence of diabetes mellitus.

Low high density lipoprotein cholesterol defined as <40 mg/dl for men and <50 mg/dl for women
