Flow of the population included in the study.

Categories are not mutually exclusive. 10-year ASCVD risk was estimated using the Pooled Cohort Equations for non-Hispanic Whites. Estimated risk categories were defined using the 2018/2019 ACC/AHA guideline thresholds: low (<5%), borderline (5 – <7.5%), intermediate (7.5% – <20%) and high (≥20%) risk. ACC/AHA = American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association; ACC/AHA = American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association; ASCVD = atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events; CAC = coronary artery calcium; LDL-C = low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; MASALA = Mediators of Atherosclerosis in South Asians Living in America; N = number.
