## Narrative

| 
# Information about your risk score:

 |
| --- |
| **Age:** | 39 |
| **Gender:** | male |
| **Total Cholesterol:** | 244 mg/dL |
| **HDL Cholesterol:** | 50 mg/dL |
| **Smoker:** | No |
| **Systolic Blood Pressure:** | 107 mm/Hg |
| **On medication for HBP:** | No |
| **Risk Score\*** | 2%  
Means 2 of 100 people with this level of risk will have a heart attack in the next 10 years. |
| \* Your risk score was calculated using an equation. Other NCEP products, such as printed ATP III materials, use a point system to determine a risk score that is close to the equation score. |
| To find out what your risk score means and how to lower your risk for a heart attack, go to
