outcomes are a 10-year risk of CVD ≥ 0.075 for pooled cohort equations, ≥ 0.05 for SCORE equations (both low and high risk countries versions), and ≥ 0.1 for the Framingham general cardiovascular risk profile for use in primary care.
$ No women with WHtR < 0.5 had a 10-year risk of CVD ≥ 0.05 based on SCORE equations (based on both high and low risk European countries).
