MESA was designed to study the prevalence, risk factors, and progression of subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a multiethnic cohort. A detailed description of the study design and methods has been published previously (12). Briefly, 6,814 participants age 45 to 84 years who identified ...
The most accurate method for CHD risk predicting using ROC analysis (Figure 1) was MESA Arterial Age (AUC 0.783). Lower accuracies were observed for 10 year risk (AUC: 10 year CHD model 0.735 and 10 year CVD model 0.703) and lifetime risk (lifetime risk alone, AUC 0.629; lifetime ...
