Background: Considering the complex interaction of risk factors in causation of CVD; assessment of vascular ageing among the high risk group through non-interventional statistical models was useful in controlling CVD. While, many CVD risk assessment models were especially designed for application in the specific population or region such as SCORE scales for Europeans, ASSIGN scores for people of Scotland. The Framingham Risk Score were modified, validated and used in several countries. Though Indians have significantly higher predilection for CVD, no indigenous scores were developed or validated to assess the CV risk. The objective of the study were to determine vascular age of the study participants using Framingham risk prediction model, to assess its relationship with development of cardiovascular disease and to develop, validate and compare cardiovascular risk prediction model based on the follow up observations of the study participants.
Methods: Community based cohort study will be conducted in large urban and rural population aged 31-60 years of age those who have no evidence of CVD. The study population will be followed up for three years and will be assessed for development of CVD. The vascular age will be determined using Framingham Risk Scores. Based on the risk factors associated with occurrence of CVD during the study period, the risk prediction model will be designed and tested for validity and accuracy.
Results: The newly developed CVD risk prediction will be more accurate in assessment of CV risk among the study subjects.
Conclusions: The newly developed and validated CV risk prediction model specific for Indians may be one of the first prospective CV risk assessment cohort study.
