Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Framingham Risk Score?
The Framingham Risk Score estimates 10-year cardiovascular disease risk based on age, sex, cholesterol, blood pressure, smoking status, and diabetes. It was developed from the Framingham Heart Study.
What is considered high cardiovascular risk?
A 10-year risk of 20% or higher is considered high risk. Intermediate risk is 10-19.9%. Borderline is 5-9.9%. Low risk is below 5%.
How can I reduce my heart disease risk?
Key modifiable risk factors include quitting smoking, managing blood pressure and cholesterol, controlling diabetes, regular physical activity (150+ min/week), maintaining a healthy weight, and eating a heart-healthy diet.
Is this the same as the ASCVD risk calculator?
No. The ACC/AHA ASCVD (Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease) risk calculator uses different equations (Pooled Cohort Equations). This Framingham-based tool provides a simplified estimate for educational purposes.
