Framingham 10-year Risk of Total Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) at Month 12
Framingham prediction of 10-year risk of CHD: Gender-specific prediction equations formulated to predict CHD risk according to age, diabetes, smoking, blood pressure categories, and total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol categories. The coefficients were used to derive the score calculated at the end of study treatment (Month 12).
Time frame: Baseline, Month 12
Framingham 10-year Risk of Total CHD at Month 4
Framingham prediction of 10-year risk of CHD: Gender-specific prediction equations formulated to predict CHD risk according to age, diabetes, smoking, blood pressure categories, and total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol categories. The coefficients were used to derive the score calculated after 4 months of treatment (Month 4).
Time frame: Baseline, Month 4
European Systematic COronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE) 10-year Risk of Fatal Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) at Month 12
European SCORE: designed to measure cardiovascular disease mortality; computed using age, gender, whether a person lives in a low risk or high risk region, measured total cholesterol, measured HDL cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, and current smoking status. The coefficients were used to derive the score calculated after 12 months of study treatment (Month 12).
Time frame: Baseline, Month 12
European SCORE 10-year Risk of Fatal CVD at Month 4
European SCORE: designed to measure cardiovascular disease mortality; computed using age, gender, whether a person lives in a low risk or high risk region, measured total cholesterol, measured HDL cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, and current smoking status. The coefficients were used to derive the score calculated after 4 months of study treatment (Month 4).
Time frame: Baseline, Month 4

Framingham 10-year Risk of Stroke at Month 12
Stroke risk calculated from the Framingham risk for CVD (CHD, stroke, intermittent claudication, congestive heart failure) multiplied by a gender-specific "calibration factor" for the stroke component risk. Coefficients were used to derive the score calculated at the end of study treatment (Month 12).
Time frame: Baseline, Month 12
Framingham 10-year Risk of Stroke at Month 4
Stroke risk calculated from the Framingham risk for CVD (CHD, stroke, intermittent claudication, congestive heart failure) multiplied by a gender-specific "calibration factor" for the stroke component risk. Coefficients were used to derive the score calculated at the end of study treatment (Month 12).

Change From Baseline in Framingham 10-year Risk of Developing Total CHD
Framingham prediction of 10-year risk of CHD: Gender-specific prediction equations formulated to predict CHD risk according to age, diabetes, smoking, blood pressure categories, and total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol categories. Change from baseline calculated as mean at observation minus mean at Baseline.
