ABSTRACT

Objective: the aim was to evaluate the correlation between the Framingham and REGICOR scales for quantifying cardiovascular risk in normal Spanish population.
Methods: this cross-sectional study involved 1306 subjects aged 35 to 65 years who had an indication for a complete lipid profile. The agreement between Framingham and REGICOR scales, was evaluated using the Pearson coefficient.
Results: the best correlation was observed between the different Framingham’s scales (Pearson correlation index between 0,8 and 0,918). The correlation between Framingham’s scales and REGICOR’s scale was of 0,288 and 0,538.
Conclusions: the cardiovascular risk levels determined by Framingham and REGICOR scales are different. In our study the Framingham’s scales overestimate the risk.
