Overview

Analysis reveals lower ASCVD risk estimates in diabetes using the PREVENT equation, suggesting implications for statin eligibility.

Key Points

  • The PREVENT equations estimate significantly lower 10-year ASCVD risk in diabetes and prediabetes populations.
  • In diabetes, the estimated 10-year ASCVD risk was 8.0% using PREVENT versus 15.7% with the PCEs.
  • Using nationally representative data from NHANES 2013–2020, 8693 participants without known CVD were assessed.
  • These findings may improve targeted prevention strategies and alter treatment approaches for high-risk populations.
