The Framingham 10-Year Hard Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) Risk is an individual’s likelihood of experiencing their first heart attack or stroke within the next 10 years, expressed as a percentage.

It takes into account several risk factors, including age, biological sex, BMI, systolic BP, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, smoking status, diabetes status, and antihypertensive medication status.

The result of the assessment is expressed as a percentage, with higher values indicating a greater risk of developing CVD. This information can be used by healthcare professionals to develop personalized plans for preventing CVD and reducing the risk of CVD events.
