Framingham score adapted: a valid alternative for estimating cardiovascular risk in epidemiological studies
The adapted FRS proved to be effective in estimating CVD-risk, showing high correlation, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy compared to the original FRS. Adaptive FRS based on self-reported hypertension, showed the best performance, making it a reliable alternative for contexts where direct measurements are not feasible.
