*Strategy A identified individuals with a high risk of cardiovascular disease as those with an estimated 10 year risk of cardiovascular disease ≥10% (fixed threshold).
†Strategy B identified individuals with a high risk of cardiovascular disease as those with an estimated 10 year risk of cardiovascular disease ≥10% or ≥90th centile of age and sex specific risk distributions (age and sex specific thresholds).
‡Cut-off values <7.5%.
