About

The Framingham Risk Score estimates the 10-year risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD), including coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral artery disease, and heart failure. Developed from the Framingham Heart Study, it uses a point-based system that accounts for age, sex, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, blood pressure treatment status, smoking, and diabetes.

Formula

Framingham Risk Score uses sex-specific point tables
Points assigned for: Age, Total Cholesterol (age-adjusted), Smoking (age-adjusted), HDL, Systolic BP (treatment-adjusted), Diabetes
Total points mapped to 10-year CVD risk percentage
