have created a novel tool capable of predicting heart disease risk in individuals aged over 40 based on their lifelong exposure to these risk factors.Journal of the American College of Cardiology The results of this study could help guide physicians in developing personalized prevention strategies for individual patients. Public health policymakers also could use the new risk calculation tool to assess the likely impact of proposed heart disease prevention programs, while researchers could use it to help design clinical trials to test heart disease prevention strategies.
“Our study demonstrates the power of innovative statistical data-science approaches in enabling biomedical researchers to gain deeper insights into complex health issues, such as cardiovascular disease. We were able to develop risk prediction models that provide a more accurate and personalized assessment of an individual’s risk,” said Colin Wu, Ph.D., Adjunct Professor of Medicine at UMSOM and a mathematical statistician at NHLBI, part of NIH.
