ASSIGN score: 10
The ASSIGN number is the risk percent of cardiovascular disease over ten years, based on the recent SHHEC study. ASSIGN 20 means 20% risk. The actual risk is probably now less than that number. What matters more is what somebody's score is in relation to other ASSIGN scores, and therefore their priority or ranking for action to lower their risk.
ASSIGN score below 20 is not currently high risk, implying general preventive measures (nobody is free of risk) Repeat the scoring in 5 years or earlier, depending how high the current score is.
