There was a low burden of 10-year CVD risk among the Azar cohort population without prior coronary events. It appears the percentage of people in the high-risk group is underestimated in the WHO/ISH risk prediction charts, leading to delays in receiving appropriate management in the population concerned. Therefore, using other charts alongside the WHO/ISH risk prediction charts is advisable.
