  • The four traditional CVD risk factors (systolic blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, fasting glucose, and per cent body fat) are often included in routine composite CVD risk algorithms to predict future CVD in clinical practice.

    “These four traditional CVD risk factors are often included in routine composite CVD risk algorithms to predict future CVD in clinical practice.10,11,14,22”

    From Aerobic, resistance, or combined exercise training and cardiovascular risk profile in overweight or obese adults: the CardioRACE trial (2024) · cites this paper as [11]

    The paper’s Table 4, in “Relative Risk Versus Absolute Risk,” includes systolic blood pressure in a composite score used to estimate future CHD risk. It scores total cholesterol rather than LDL cholesterol and diabetes status rather than fasting glucose as a continuous measure; it does not include percent body fat. The claim is therefore supported for composite clinical risk assessment, but not for the stated set of four inputs. (LLM, conf=0.91)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
