- chiefalchemist 3y ago"We also estimated 10-year CVD risks utilizing the BMI-based Framingham CVD risk scores." From what I understand, CVD is a function of more than simply weight. There's also diet and lifestyle (read: movement / exercise). Lowering weight is going to help, but I'm not sure you can extrapolate that to CVD "savings" as they have.
