Variable used to calculate Framingham 10-year Cardiovascular Risk
**
Average 10-year cardiovascular disease risk is an estimate of an individual's chance (%) for developing CVD within the next ten years. Average 10-year risk was calculated using the variables: systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, smoking, age, and gender.
