Framingham General CVD Risk + Vascular Age (2008)
Framingham general CVD risk (D'Agostino 2008): 10-year risk of a first cardiovascular event and the implied vascular age, from age, sex, total / HDL cholesterol, systolic BP (treated or not), smoking, and diabetes.

Example
- Age
- 55 years
- Male sex
- Yes
- Total cholesterol
- 213 mg/dL
- HDL cholesterol
- 50 mg/dL
- Systolic BP
- 120 mmHg
Result: Framingham 10-year general-CVD risk 10.2% (vascular age 55.2).
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.
What the result means
- Vascular age
- the age at which an otherwise-normal-risk person (TC 180, HDL 45, SBP 125 untreated, non-smoker, non-diabetic) carries the same 10-year risk. Cross-links ascvd / prevent.
What you enter
- Age
- Male sex
- Total cholesterol
- HDL cholesterol
- Systolic BP
- On antihypertensive treatment
- Current smoker
- Diabetes mellitus
How this is calculated
- Model
- sex-specific Cox on ln-transformed age, total & HDL cholesterol (mg/dL), and SBP (treated coefficient if on antihypertensives), plus smoking and diabetes. Validated ages 30-74.
