What it calculates

The “Framingham Risk” calculator computes 10-year CVD risk in % from 8 parameters: sex (0 = male, 1 = female), age (years), total cholesterol (mmol/L), hdl cholesterol (mmol/L), systolic bp (mmHg), on antihypertensive treatment (1 = yes), smoking (1 = yes), diabetes mellitus (1 = yes).

Used by professionals and patients to assess health metrics, dosages, and risks.

Example calculation

With parameters Sex (0 = male, 1 = female) = 0, Age = 55 years, Total cholesterol = 5.5 mmol/L, HDL cholesterol = 1.3 mmol/L, Systolic BP = 130 mmHg, On antihypertensive treatment (1 = yes) = 0, Smoking (1 = yes) = 0, Diabetes mellitus (1 = yes) = 0 the result is 11.8 % (Framingham general CVD risk (D'Agostino 2008)).

How to use

  1. Enter sex (0 = male, 1 = female), age, total cholesterol, hdl cholesterol, systolic bp, on antihypertensive treatment (1 = yes), smoking (1 = yes) and diabetes mellitus (1 = yes) — each field above is adjustable with a slider.
  2. 10-year CVD risk (%) is calculated automatically as you type.
  3. Check the worked example below to see the formula applied to real numbers.

FAQ

How is BMI calculated?
BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)². Example: 70 kg / (1.75 m)² = 22.9. The WHO normal range is 18.5–24.9; below that is underweight, 25–29.9 is overweight, and 30+ is obese.
Is BMI accurate for everyone?
No. BMI does not distinguish muscle from fat, so athletes may show a high BMI with low body fat. It is also less reliable for teenagers, pregnant people, older adults, and very tall or short individuals.
What are the BMI categories?
Underweight: below 18.5. Normal: 18.5–24.9. Overweight: 25–29.9. Obese class I: 30–34.9; class II: 35–39.9; class III: 40+.
What is a better measure than BMI?
Body fat percentage, waist-to-height ratio (aim for under 0.5), and waist circumference give a clearer picture of health than BMI alone.
