Figures

Figura 1
Figura 1. – Percentis da distribuição do risco predito de doença cardiovascular (DCV) em 10 anos, de acordo com sexo e faixa etária. O risco de DCV foi calculado pelo escore de risco não laboratorial da Organização Mundial da Saúde.
Figura 2
Figura 2. – Diagramas de Bland-Altman para a concordância entre os escores de risco de DCV laboratorial e não laboratorial da OMS, de acordo com o sexo. A linha azul representa a média de todas as diferenças (escores laboratoriais menos escores não laboratoriais), enquanto as linhas vermelha e verde representam os limites de concordância de 95% inferior e superior, respectivamente. DCV: doença cardiovascular.
Figure 1
Figure 1. – Percentiles of the predicted 10-year cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk distribution, according to sex and age group. The CVD risk was calculated using the non-laboratory-based risk score from the World Health Organization.
Figure 2
Figure 2. – Bland-Altman diagrams for the agreement between WHO laboratory- and non-laboratory-based CVD risk scores according to sex. The blue line represents the mean of all differences (laboratory- minus non-laboratory-based scores), while the red and green lines represent the lower and the upper 95% limits of agreement, respectively. CVD: cardiovascular disease.
