The meta-analysis of zero CAC scores in Asian populations suggested an 18.2% prevalence. A 5-year warranty period was noted, with heightened subclinical CAC progression likelihood after this duration. Additionally, sex-based differences were observed in subclinical CAC progression rates. These findings will provide clinical cardiovascular risk stratification for guiding gender-specific clinical decision-making in asymptomatic in Asian individuals.
