- Who it is for
- Adults using the Chinese population model for 10-year risk and a lipid-intensity band.
- Who it is not for
- US PCE is not the main door for ASCVD in China. Pregnancy does not enter statin intensity; contraindication or caution only.
- Formula and variables
- The main door is China-PAR, the equation already on this page: sex, age, region, urban or rural, waist, treated or untreated systolic pressure, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, family history, and the rest. Coefficients stay as on this page and are not changed. This equation is not the risk-factor counting flowchart. Until that crosswalk is pinned, the two cannot be swapped automatically.
- Result → next step
- Give the risk band first. The main door for ASCVD in China is China-PAR, not US PCE. An LDL-cholesterol target band may open the existing target page, but a China-PAR percent must not be dropped straight into a flowchart cell. Intensity band or defer only. No numeric dose. Pregnancy uses the pregnancy-medication page for contraindication or caution only.LDL-C target band →Pregnancy meds (contraindication or caution) →

Methodology · worked example, guidelines & full notes
Common strata: <5% low, 5–<10% moderate, ≥10% high.
When to use
Primary-prevention cardiovascular risk assessment in Chinese adults without established ASCVD.
How it works
Sex-specific log model (Yang 2016; T/JPMA 024—2024): age, SBP (±treatment), TC, HDL, waist, smoking, diabetes, north/south, urban (men), family history (men); cholesterol mmol/L ×38.6 to mg/dL.
Key points
- Common strata: <5% low, 5–<10% moderate, ≥10% high.
- Validated example ~10.8% men / ~10.2% women.
- Not for established ASCVD.

The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- What are the limits and cautions when using China-PAR 10-Year ASCVD Risk?
- For licensed clinicians and clinical researchers. Interpret results with history, investigations and local protocols; not a diagnosis or prescription, and not a substitute for multidisciplinary decision-making or local guidelines.
- Does China-PAR 10-Year ASCVD Risk upload patient data? Where is it calculated?
- Calculation runs locally in the browser; inputs and results are not uploaded. For licensed clinicians only; interpret with history, investigations and local protocols — not a diagnosis or prescription.
- How is China-PAR 10-Year ASCVD Risk calculated in practice? Can you show a worked example?
