Formula
Points from age, cholesterol, HDL, smoking and blood pressure → 10-year risk %
- Framingham Risk Score Calculator gives you a fast estimate using your inputs and updates instantly when you change any value.
- Formula: Points from age, cholesterol, HDL, smoking and blood pressure → 10-year risk %
- Input definitions: • Age: the numeric age used in the calculation • Total Cholesterol: the numeric total cholesterol used in the calculation • HDL: the numeric hdl used in the calculation • Systolic BP: the numeric systolic bp used in the calculation
- Manual method: write down each input, apply the formula step by step, then compare your manual result with the calculator output.
- Enter values using the units shown next to each input field (e.g. kg, cm, years).
- This calculator uses widely accepted health formulas and returns screening estimates only. It does not replace a diagnosis from a qualified healthcare professional.
- Compare your result with published reference ranges. Values outside the normal range warrant a conversation with your doctor.
- Practical tip: test a low, medium, and high scenario to understand sensitivity before making decisions.
55-year-old male with borderline risk
Inputs
- Age: 55 years
- Sex: male
- Total Cholesterol: 220 mg/dL
- HDL: 45 mg/dL
- Systolic BP: 130 mmHg
- On BP medication: 0
- Smoker: 0
Age 55, Total Cholesterol 220, HDL 45, Systolic BP 130, not on BP meds, non-smoker → approximately 8–10 points → ~10% 10-year CHD risk (intermediate category). Discuss prevention strategies with your doctor.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Framingham Risk Score?
The Framingham Risk Score is an evidence-based points system (ATP III) that estimates your 10-year risk of developing coronary heart disease. Points are awarded based on age, sex, cholesterol, HDL, blood pressure, smoking, and BP medication use.
When should I use this calculator?
Use this calculator for quick screening of cardiovascular risk, especially during routine health checkups or after lipid panel results. Always discuss results with your healthcare provider.
What do the risk categories mean?
<10% = Low risk; 10–20% = Intermediate risk (monitor regularly); ≥20% = High risk (consider preventive medications like statins).
How accurate are the results?
This calculator uses widely accepted health formulas and returns screening estimates only. It does not replace a diagnosis from a qualified healthcare professional.
How do I interpret the result?
Compare your result with published reference ranges. Values outside the normal range warrant a conversation with your doctor.
How can I verify the calculation manually?
Use the displayed formula and work through the numbers step by step. If your manual result differs slightly, check rounding and unit conversions first.
Can I use this for planning and budgeting?
Yes. Run best-case, expected, and worst-case inputs to compare outcomes and make safer planning decisions.
