Objective. We sought to determine the levels of risk factors required to exceed threshold values of intermediate (>= 10%) or high (>20%) predicted 10-year risk for coronary heart disease using the Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP-III) Risk Assessment Tool.Methods. Continuous risk factor values were entered into the risk assessment tool to examine levels of predicted 10-year risk. Both individual risk factors and the joint effects of varying multiple risk factors were systematically examined.Results. Women only exceed 10% risk at ages >= 70 with single risk factors of HDL-cholesterol levels 170 mm Hg. Women = 45, and to exceed 20% risk at ages >= 55.Conclusions. Because such high-risk factor levels are required for men
