  1. a‘Agreement’ based on dichotomous risk categorization corresponding to 10-year Framingham (2008) CVD risk >20%, unless otherwise noted. For SCORE this is equivalent to a 5% fatal CVD risk; bthreshold of 10-year Framingham CHD risk >20%. CHD coronary heart disease, CVD cardiovascular disease, Fr Framingham.
