The Framingham risk score is associated with incident frailty, or is it? [PDF]
BMC Geriatr, 2021 AbstractBackgroundsCardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors are individually associated with frailty. This study examined whether Framingham CVD risk score (FRS) as an aggregate measure of CVD risk is associated with incident frailty among Chinese older adults.MethodsThis study used data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study.

Application of the Updated Framingham Risk Score to Japanese Men.
Hypertension Research, 2001 Few tools for risk assessment of coronary heart disease (CHD) have yet been made available in Japan. This study aims to examine the validity of the updated Framingham risk score as applied to a Japanese male population. Using the annual health examination database of a Japanese company, we followed-up 5,611 male subjects, aged 30 to 59 years, who had ...

Reference distributions of aortic calcification and association with Framingham risk score. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2023 AbstractEvidence supporting aortic calcification as a leverageable cardiovascular risk factor is rapidly growing. Given aortic calcification’s potential as a clinical correlate, we assessed granular vertebral-indexed calcification measurements of the abdominal aorta in a well curated reference population.
