Validation of a new predictive risk model: measuring the impact of major modifiable risks of death for patients and populations
Emily Carnahan,Stephen S Lim,Eugene C. Nelson,Catherine W. Gillespie,Ali H. Mokdad,Christopher J L Murray,Elliott S. Fisher +6 more
TL;DR: The risk model accurately predicted individual all-cause mortality in a representative sample of the US population and can be used to counsel patients on what actions to take to protect their health, identify patients at high risk of avoidable death, and monitor the impact of broad efforts to improve population health.
