Equations for Predicting the 10-Year Risk of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease in Population With Obesity

JACC AdvPublished development and validation of gender-specific equations to predict atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)

Authors' conclusion

Our equations provided better prediction of 10-year ASCVD risk in individuals with obesity in the MESA cohort, outperforming both PCEs and FRS.
