how old are you? Do you smoke? Do you have diabetes? Based on this and other information, the GLOBO calculator shows men and women their risk of developing heart disease over the next 10 years.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in Brazil and around the world. According to data from the Ministry of Health’s Mortality Information System (SIM), 397,555 Brazilians died from heart disease last year.
The GLOBO calculator is based on the Framingham Global Risk Score (ERG) and should be construed as a reference and not a substitute for guidance from a medical professional. Your doctor can help you better understand your personal risks and how to interpret your results.
