Do 30-year risk prediction functions offer additional risk burden information compared to 10-year functions for predicting hard CVD?
Thirty-year risk prediction functions provide complementary risk burden information to standard 10-year functions for predicting hard cardiovascular disease.
Standard risk factors remain strong predictors of hard CVD over extended follow-up. Thirty-year risk prediction functions offer additional risk burden information that complements that of 10-year functions.
