Coronary
Heart Disease (CHD)
score sheet for men using TC or
LDL-C categories. Uses age, TC
(or LDL-C), HDL-C, blood
pressure, diabetes, and smoking.
Estimates risk for CHD over a
period of 10 years based on
Framingham experience in men 30
to 74 years old at baseline.
Average risk estimates are based
on typical Framingham subjects,
and estimates of idealized risk
are based on optimal blood
pressure, TC 160 to 199 mg/dL
(or LDL 100 to 129 mg/dL), HDL-C
of 45 mg/dL in men, no diabetes,
and no smoking. Use of the LDL-C
categories is appropriate when
fasting LDL-C measurements are
available. Pts indicates points.

same age, optimal blood
pressure, LDL-C 100-129 mg/dl or
cholesterol 160-199 mg/dl, HDL-C
45 mg/dl, for men or 55 mg/dl
