Table 1.

Point values given for the various CVD risk factors according to the Framingham Scale. Scores for each individual risk factor (according to gender and age of the participant) were summed to give a total. The total score equated to a percentage used to quantify CVD risk.

^*Total Cholesterol <160 mg/dL was a 0 value for all age groups and both genders.

⁺Non-smokers had a 0 value for all age groups and both genders.

^**Systolic Blood Pressure < 120mmHg was a 0 value for all age groups and both genders.
