Applying Framingham Risk Score 2008 to Predict the 10-Year Risk of Cardiovascular Disease in a Group of Office Workers in Hanoi, Vietnam

Abstract: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the world. Cardiovascular risk assessment is an important step in preventing and treating the disease. The current study assesses the 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease in 306 VNU’s office workers in 2016-2017 based on the 2008 Framingham Risk Score. The study results show that the average risk score was 4.05 ± 4.76%; low risk was 90.52%; moderate risk: 7.85 %; and high to very high risk was 1.63%. Men have a higher risk score than women (p <0.001)… Show more

“…The priority intervention is represented by blood LDL-C reduction, whose clinical target depends on the patient’s estimated absolute cardiovascular risk [ 88 , 89 ]. Other strategies focus on pharmacological treatment of high blood pressure (using angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitors as first-line therapy) [ 90 ], elevated fasting blood glucose and IR (using metformin as first-line therapy) [ 91 ], and pro-thrombotic status (primary prevention with low-dose aspirin or other antiplatelet agents when needed) [ 92 ]. Of note, since these patients may be affected by MetS for the rest of their lives, adopting and maintaining a new lifestyle may prove difficult; thus, their re-education both in terms of their dietary patterns and physical activity emerges as a potential solution.…”
