title: 'WHORiskCalculator: WHO Cardiovascular Disease Risk Calculator'
version: 1.0.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.WHORiskCalculator
abstract: 'Implements the 2019 World Health Organization (WHO) cardiovascular disease
  (CVD) risk prediction models, as described in Kaptoge et al. (2019) <https://doi.org/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.'
