Discussion

Community-based study reported CVD risk among adults aged ≥ 40 years, indicating WHO charts may aid prevention.

Approximately 76.7% of subjects had less than 10% risk of cardiovascular diseases according to the WHO charts.
The study was conducted across 240 adults aged 40-74 years in rural north India from September to December 2021.
Using both laboratory-based and non-laboratory-based WHO CVD risk charts demonstrated varying risk percentages.
This finding suggests that CVD risk prediction tools could help in early detection in resource-limited settings.

Raheja et al. (2025) studied this question.
