About this Calculator 💡
The Framingham Risk Score is a widely used assessment tool in medicine to estimate an individual's risk of developing cardiovascular disease (such as myocardial infarction or stroke) within a 10-year period. Based on long-term data from the Framingham Heart Study, this score calculates the risk probability using a combination of key risk factors, which include age, sex, total and HDL cholesterol levels, systolic blood pressure (and whether it is treated), smoking status, and the presence of diabetes mellitus.
