Vascular Disease Risk Factors is a composite measure of vascular risk burden. The variable is computed using self-report questions on the following 3 items:
Each item is given a value of 0 or 1 (see response options below). The score covers a time frame from baseline, including any past history, to the current cycle (i.e., cumulative). The cumulative score for vascular disease risk factors ranges from 0 to 3 and is the total number of items reported. Higher scores indicate higher vascular risk burden.
Response values for each item:
Hypertension
Value | Coding |
---|---|
1 | Reported in past history or in at least 1 follow-up cycle up to this cycle |
0 | Never reported in past history or in follow-up cycle up to this cycle (includes suspect or possible) |
Diabetes
Value | Coding |
---|---|
1 | Reported in past history or in at least 1 follow-up cycle up to this cycle |
0 | Never reported in past history or in follow-up cycle up to this cycle (includes suspect or possible) |
History of smoking
Value | Coding |
---|---|
1 | Former or current smoker |
0 | Never smoked |
*Diabetes is based on self-report of diabetes or taking diabetes medication.
**Smoking history (smoke_hx) is based off smoking (never smoked vs. former smoker vs. current smoker) at baseline only.
