Abstract
The author comments on a review of a study on the accuracy of Framingham risk assessments for predicting cardiovascular disease in different groups of patients. He asserted that researchers' predictions based on the Framingham risk scores overestimate in most unselected populations and underestimate in high-risk populations of patients with diabetes. He claimed that the study suggests a good job of determining high-risk patients from those at low risk.
