It mentions that Farmingham Risk Score a risk prediction model was used to classify individuals in three categories on the basis of risk level. It informs that risk markers that can be used to identify risk factors include carotid intima-media thickness, coronary artery calcium and high sensitivity C-reactive protein. According to the results given, coronary artery calcium was able to discriminate cardiovascular risks better than other risk markers.
