  sex,
  age,
  total_cholesterol,
  hdl,
  systolic,
  bp_treated,
  diabetes,
  smoker,
  points = TRUE
)
risk_DAgostino(
  age,
  total_cholesterol,
  hdl,
  systolic,

get_risk(x, breaks, values)
DAgostino_raw(result, sex)

Arguments

sex: character scalar indicating either sex for one person (i.e., male or female), or a column name in x containing sex values for multiple people
age: either a numeric scalar indicating age for one person, or a character scalar indicating the name of the column in x that contains age information. Units are years
total_cholesterol: same as age, but for total cholesterol, in mg/dL
hdl: same as age, but for HDL, in mg/dL
systolic: same as age, but for systolic blood pressure, in mmHg
bp_treated: either a logical scalar indicating whether a person is taking blood pressure medication, or a character scalar pointing to the column in x that contains the same information for multiple people
diabetes: same as bp_treated, but for the presence of diabetes
smoker: same asbp_treated, but for smoking status
points: logical. Return as points (default) or risk percentage?
age_points: numeric vector giving the risk values assigned to each age group. Used as a lookup reference for x
tc_points: same as age_points but for total cholesterol
sbp_breaks: numeric vector specifying which blood pressure levels to cut at
sbp_points: same as age_points but for systolic blood pressure
x: a value on which to lookup a risk score
breaks: passed to base::cut
values: numeric vector giving the risk values assigned to each interval in breaks
result: output from risk_DAgostino
