High cardiovascular risk defined as personal history of heart disease or heart attack, personal history of stroke, older age (men aged ≥ 50 years or women aged ≥ 60 years) and personal history of diabetes, or older age and systolic blood pressure ≥ 160 mmHg; therefore, for younger age group (men 35-49 and women 35-59 years old), there are only two components, while for the older group (men >=50 and women >=60) there are four components.
