Estimating CHD Risk
The National Cholesterol Education Program has developed charts for estimating the actual likelihood that one will develop CHD within the next 10 years.
Table 8.4 for adult males (p269), Table 8.5 for adult females (p270)
The ATP 3rd guidelines recommend that this assessment could be used for reducing CHD risk for persons with 2 or more CHD risk factors.
The variables
The charts use the following variables: age, total serum cholesterol, serum HDL cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, whether one is being treated for hypertension, and smoking
Total and HDL cholesterol measurements should be the average of at least two measurements obtained from lipoprotein analysis.
Systolic blood pressure should be based on the average of several blood pressure measurements
