It means 11 out of 100 people with the same results (that are questioned on the calculator) as you will have such an event. (Not that you have an 85% chance of having one).Those 11 people may have a lot of factors that are not the same as yours but those aren’t being measured in this test - or they may be your life style twin. They may have had those numbers a long time or a short time. They may have moved to that postcode recently or lived there all their lives. This calculator is one measure to consider. You need to look at the whole picture and make your choice whatever that may be. There are additional tests that can be done (ldl particle size or CAC scan to look for actual issues not theoretical ones but good luck persuading an nhs dr to do them)</blockquote>
