[QUOTE="Excel Male, post: 272890, member: 1"] The standard predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk is the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framingham_Risk_Score]Framingham Risk Score[/url]. The Framingham Score predicts the 10 year risk of heart disease and is based on age, smoking, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and blood pressure. This study added testosterone levels to the Framingham Score and found that it did not improve the prediction of heart disease.
