Key result
Framingham Risk Score and carotid intima-media thickness showed a weak but significant positive correlation (r = 0.312; p < 0.001) in type 2 diabetes patients without prior cardiovascular disease.
Why the study?
The accuracy of the Framingham Risk Score in diabetic populations is debated, necessitating additional risk stratification techniques such as carotid intima-media thickness.
Is the Framingham Risk Score associated with carotid intima-media thickness in T2DM patients without prior cardiovascular disease?
Cross-Sectional (n=165)

The Framingham Risk Score has a weak but significant positive correlation with carotid intima-media thickness in T2DM patients in urban Indonesia, suggesting CIMT may add value to cardiovascular risk stratification.

Richard et al. (2026) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 diabetes mellitus without prior cardiovascular disease (n=165). Framingham Risk Score (FRS) and Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CIMT) was evaluated on Association between FRS and CIMT (r = 0.312, p=<0.001). Framingham Risk Score and carotid intima-media thickness showed a weak but significant positive correlation (r = 0.312; p < 0.001) in type 2 diabetes patients without prior cardiovascular disease.
