WHORiskCalculator
WHO Cardiovascular Disease Risk Calculator
Implements the 2019 World Health Organization (WHO) cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction models, as described in Kaptoge et al. (2019) <doi:10.1016/S2214-109X(19)30318-3>. Provides two validated models for estimating 10-year risk of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction and stroke): a laboratory-based model using age, sex, systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, smoking status, and diabetes history; and a non-laboratory-based model substituting body mass index (BMI) for cholesterol and diabetes, suitable for resource-limited settings. Risk estimates are recalibrated to 21 Global Burden of Disease regions using region-specific incidence rates and risk factor distributions derived from the Emerging Risk Factors Collaboration. Functions are fully vectorized for efficient batch calculations and support automatic country-to-region mapping via ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country codes.
