What the research found
The American Heart Association released the PREVENT equations in 2023 to update the older pooled cohort equations. They were built and tested in 6.6 million adults and include kidney function, which the old ones left out. In testing on separate data, when comparing someone who went on to have heart disease with someone who didn't, they gave the first person the higher risk about 79% of the time for women and 76% for men.
Studied in: 6.6 million US adults in 46 data sets.
