Predicting the 10-Year Risks of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease in Chinese Population The China-PAR Project (Prediction for ASCVD Risk in China)

摘要

BACKGROUND: The accurate assessment of individual risk can be of great value to guiding and facilitating the prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). However, prediction models in common use were formulated primarily in white populations. The China-PAR project (Prediction for ASCVD Risk in China) is aimed at developing and validating 10-year risk prediction equations for ASCVD from 4 contemporary Chinese cohorts.
