Age and sex specific thresholds for risk stratification of cardiovascular disease and clinical decision making: prospective open cohort study by Matthew Sperrin, Angela M Wood, Lois Kim, Zhe Xu, Emanuele Di Angelantonio, Stephen Kaptoge, Juliet Usher-Smith, Matthew Arnold, Lisa Pennells, Ryan Chung

“…Assuming that treatment with statins would be initiated in those identified as high risk, differences in the estimated gain in cardiovascular disease-free life years from statin treatment for strategy B versus strategy A were 0.14 and 0.16 years for women and men aged 40 years, respectively; among individuals aged 40-49 years, the numbers needed to treat to prevent one cardiovascular disease event for strategy B versus strategy A were 39 versus 21 in women and 19 versus 15 in men, respectively.Conclusions This study quantified the potential gains in cardiovascular disease-free life years when implementing prevention strategies based on age and sex specific risk thresholds instead of a fixed risk threshold for allocation of statin treatment. …”
