[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1941911, member: 94045"] I should add that GPs use what is known as the Q-Risk calculation of your risk of a CVD event in the next 10 years compared to everyone else who has the same criteria as yourself. If your risk is above 10% they will push statins on you. However, according this Q-Risk, our risks increase every birthday. It is impossible to be under 10% once we reach a certain age. I believe that GPs are still using an old version of this formula. Here is the old version and also the later version. Have a play with it. It is very worrying because it is a one size fits all scenario and in my opinion, complete rubbish.. [URL]https://qrisk.org/2017/[/URL] [URL]https://qrisk.org/three/[/URL] (the latest one) [/QUOTE]
