Reynolds Risk Score

The Reynolds Risk Score is a tool used to estimate a person's risk of developing heart disease within the next 10 years. It takes into account various factors, including age, gender, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, smoking status, and family history of heart disease. By scoring these factors, healthcare providers can assess an individual's risk and guide recommendations for lifestyle changes or medical interventions. This score helps identify those who may benefit from closer monitoring or preventive measures to maintain heart health.
