Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been the leading cause of death for well over a century [1]. To date, CVD remains the number one cause of death globally, and approximately one fourth of the world’s CVD occur in China where CVD accounts for over 40% of the deaths, and together with diabetes consume approximately 80% health care resources annually [2]. Set against this unfortunate global epidemic is the consistent decline in both incidence and prevalence of CVD in the United Stated since its peak in the 1950s. It has been well documented that changes in lifestyles such as decreases in the prevalence of major risk factors including high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, adiposity, smoking, physical inactivity, and unhealthy diet, have since reduced CVD incidence and prevalence in the US [3]. These risk factors are also targeted by the American Heart Association’s ‘‘Life’s Simple 7” approach to achieve even better cardiovascular health, which includes being active, keeping a healthy weight, learning about cholesterol, no smoking or using smokeless tobacco, eating a heart-healthy diet, keeping a healthy blood pressure, and learning about blood sugar and diabetes mellitus [4]. Many of these risk factors are commonly used in developing risk prediction equations, which serve as a valuable risk evaluation tool for individuals for CVD prevention in populations of North America and European nations. For instance, in the US the Framingham Risk Score (FRS) has been an integral part of the primary prevention strategies outlined in the Third Report of the National Cholesterol Education Program Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults since 2001 [5]. More recently, guidelines released by the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association in 2013 provided the risk equation obtained through the pooling of multiple cohorts (PCEs) in predicting the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) that combined stroke and coronary heart disease as one clinical outcome [6, 7]. The main purpose of using these risk assessment tools in primary prevention is to identify individuals at high risk as precisely as possible, so as to direct intensive prevention efforts towards these individuals within the constraint of limited resources in the health care system.
