Formula
Framingham Risk Score — 10-year CVD risk estimation using age, sex, cholesterol, BP, smoking, diabetes status
Based on the Framingham Heart Study. Uses Cox proportional hazards model with validated coefficients. <10% = low risk, 10-20% = moderate, >20% = high.
Worked Examples
Example 1: 55yo male
Problem:Age 55, male, TC 200, HDL 50, SBP 130, non-smoker
Solution:Points: 10+1+0+1 = 12 → 10% risk
Result:10% (Moderate risk)
Example 2: 62yo Female, Treated Hypertension
Problem:Age 62, female, TC 230, HDL 45, SBP 148, on BP medication, non-smoker.
Solution:Age 62 → 12 pts. TC 230 (200-239 band) → 3 pts. HDL 45 (30-49 band) → 2 pts. SBP 148 on meds (140-159 band) → 4 pts. Total = 21 points, which maps to roughly 17% on the female point table.
Result:~17% (High risk) — treated blood pressure still adds meaningful points
