Discussion Questions

1. Was your risk score for cardiovascular disease the same/close for the two risk assessments? If very different, why do you think that occurred? (If you are comfortable divulging your risk scores as part of the discussion, you are welcome to - but it is not required.)
2. The Mayo Clinic Heart Disease Risk Calculator compiled more information than the textbook version (National Cholesterol Education Program - NCEP - see pages 216-218). What are your thoughts on the variations between the two risk assessments?
3. What was your Diabetes Risk score? Your Pre-diabetes Risk Score? Were you classified in the same risk categories with both assessments? What are your thoughts on the variations between these two risk assessments?
