Stroke probability higher in men and rising with age supports multifactorial profiling; leaves open whether it refines BP-based predictions or outcomes.
How do associated cardiovascular risk factors influence the 10-year probability of stroke at varying levels of blood pressure?
A stroke risk profile derived from the Framingham Study demonstrates that the probability of stroke at any blood pressure level is heavily dependent on the presence of other risk factors, highlighting the need for multifactorial risk management.
Wolf et al. (1994) studied this question.
