How This Works

This calculator uses a QRISK3-inspired simplified model that weighs established cardiovascular risk factors using relative risk multipliers from clinical literature. The base risk is determined by age and sex, then modified by each additional risk factor.

Base risk (age/sex) x BP modifier x Cholesterol ratio modifier
x HbA1c modifier x Diabetes duration modifier
x Smoking modifier x BMI modifier
x Family history modifier x South Asian ethnicity modifier
-> Capped at 95% | Minimum 1%

Key risk factors used: Age, sex, systolic blood pressure, total-to-HDL cholesterol ratio, HbA1c, diabetes duration, smoking status, BMI, family history of CVD, South Asian ethnicity (which carries a ~40% higher baseline CV risk), and whether blood pressure is currently treated.

This is an educational estimate only. Clinical tools like QRISK3 require additional data and medical interpretation. Always discuss your cardiovascular risk with your doctor or healthcare team.
