From: Blood glucose may be an alternative to cholesterol in CVD risk prediction charts
Chart for absolute 10-year risk of fatal cardiovascular disease based on the model using blood glucose instead of cholesterol, 6,095 participants of the NRP1A study conducted in Switzerland in 1977-79, ages >16 years at baseline. NRP1A: National Research Program 1A, entire population with full follow-up is considered. Each risk percentage is calculated using a combination of given risk factor values. E.g., a man aged 65, smoker, with a systolic blood pressure of 180 and a fasting blood glucose of 6 mmol/L has an absolute risk of fatal CVD of 15%.
