The presence of the HbA1c in the model of diabetes assessment could help identify participants at high risk, with the predictability being improved by inclusion of lipid profile [ 30].
Recent reports have demonstrated that including HbA1c level in the assessment model could help to identify subjects at high risk, and that the predictability was improved by also including lipid levels [ 14].
In general, when autoantibodies are present in combination, at higher titers, at a younger age, and with high-risk HLA genes, the predictability of the disease in relatives is well over 50% in a 5-year period (3, 4).
Our findings point to the predictability of risk as a critical characteristic of risk in which predicting the risk and expecting it influenced participants' risk perception.
To examine whether the addition of baPWV and/or maxIMT to conventional risk factors could improve the predictability for CVE, time-dependent ROC curves were plotted.
Next, to examine whether the addition of baPWV and/or maxIMT to conventional risk factors could improve the predictability for major CVE, time-dependent ROC curves were plotted.
The present study supports the finding that combining BMD and clinical risk factors can further improve the predictability of hip fracture and emphasize the multidirectional approach for patient at risks.
Although the predictability of risk increases with scale, the knowledge of efficient means in responding to risk (i.e., the x-axis in figure 1) generally decreases with scale.
Anticipatory action is advocated when the predictability of risk is high and sufficient knowledge to address it is available.
Whether anticipatory or resilience-based management approaches are more promising should be considered at the level of specific management decisions and depends on the predictability of risk and the knowledge about effective measures of how to deal with it (Wildavsky 1988).
However, in recent years, several investigators have demonstrated that the FRS overestimates the coronary risk in other populations, such as contemporary populations in Europe 3– 5 and Asia, 6 including Korea, 7 while others have suggested that additional risk factors may add to the predictability of those included in the FRS.
