ASCVD 10-Year Risk (Pooled Cohort Equations)
Age (40–79) (yr)
Sex
Race
Total cholesterol (mmol/L)
HDL cholesterol (mmol/L)
Systolic BP (mmHg)
On antihypertensive treatment
Current smoker
Diabetes
When to use
Primary-prevention risk assessment in adults aged 40–79 without established ASCVD, to guide statin and risk-factor decisions.
How it works
Race- and sex-specific Pooled Cohort Equations using age, total and HDL cholesterol, systolic BP (treated/untreated), smoking and diabetes. Strata: < 5% low, 5–7.5% borderline, 7.5–20% intermediate, ≥ 20% high.
Key points
- A statin is generally considered at ≥ 7.5% 10-year risk, with shared decision-making and risk-enhancing factors.
- The PCE were derived in US White and African-American cohorts and often over-estimate risk in Asian and some other populations.
- Use only for primary prevention (no established ASCVD); cholesterol entered in mmol/L is converted internally to mg/dL.
- Consider a locally validated model (China-PAR, SCORE2) where available.
