Hypertension risk calculator

The risk calculator below uses research data from the Strong Heart Study (Citation: Wang et al. Hypertension. 2006;47:403-409 ) to estimate the risk for a non-hypertensive person to develop hypertension in the next 4 years. It is designed for American Indians of age 35 and older. This calculator is not intended for clinicians but rather serves as a tool for research and community planning. To find your estimated risk, enter your information in the calculator below. Definitions and descriptions of some terms in the calculator are provided at the bottom of the calculator.
