Description: Implements the 2019 World Health Organization (WHO)
        cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction models, as
        described in Kaptoge et al. (2019)
        <doi:10.1016/S2214-109X(19)30318-3>. Provides two validated
        models for estimating 10-year risk of fatal and non-fatal
        cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction and stroke): a
        laboratory-based model using age, sex, systolic blood pressure,
        total cholesterol, smoking status, and diabetes history; and a
        non-laboratory-based model substituting body mass index (BMI)
        for cholesterol and diabetes, suitable for resource-limited
        settings. Risk estimates are recalibrated to 21 Global Burden
        of Disease regions using region-specific incidence rates and
        risk factor distributions derived from the Emerging Risk
        Factors Collaboration. Functions are fully vectorized for
        efficient batch calculations and support automatic
        country-to-region mapping via ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country codes.
