CVD risk group stratification based on 10‐year CVD risk, hypertension and diabetes status ^a

CVD risk category	Low CVD risk (<10%) ^b	Hypertension ^c	Diabetes ^d
Risk category 1	Yes	No	No
Risk category 2	No	No	No
Risk category 3	Yes	Yes	No
Risk category 4	No	Yes	No
Risk category 5	Yes	No	Yes
Risk category 6	No	No	Yes
Risk category 7	Yes	Yes	Yes
Risk category 8	No	Yes	Yes

^{^a}

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).

^{^b}

Ten‐year CVD risk as estimated by the Framingham calculator [12].

^{^c}

Individuals with systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 are assumed to have hypertension.

^{^d}

Individuals with a plasma venous value ≥ 7.0 mmol/L (126 mg/dL) or currently on blood glucose lowering medication are assumed to have diabetes. The Kenya 2015 STEPwise approach to Surveillance (STEPS) survey data is not reported separately for type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Given the low prevalence of type 1 diabetes in Kenya (at ~ 10‐15% of total diabetes) and low prevalence of diabetes in the survey (~1.9% among both sexes), we assumed that the reported data represents type 2 diabetes.
