It is shown that, for a given tokamak cross-sectional shape and arbitrary values of the magnetic axis safety factor q₀, the first stability condition against pressure-driven magnetohydrodynamic modes has the form 40{π}{β}aB₀/I{≤}CR(q₀)/q₀. Moreover, in the limit of large q₀, CR(q₀) becomes independent of q₀ and independent of the toroidal mode number.
