Here it is (from Wikipadia)
The 10-year cardiovascular risk of an individual can be estimated with the
easy to use Framingham Risk Score, including individuals without known
cardiovascular disease. The Framingham Risk Score is based on findings of
the Framingham Heart Study.

You may leave the list at any time by sending the command
SIGNOFF allstat
to [log in to unmask], leaving the subject line blank.
