In a population-based Dutch cohort, SAF was associated with the degree of coronary calcification. This association was largely explained by classical cardiovascular risk factors. Limited overlap was found in subgroups with high SAF or high CACS, indicating that SAF and CACS may have complementary role in identifying individuals at elevated cardiovascular risk.
