    The Framingham risk score (FRS) estimates the 10-year risk of coronary heart disease and predicts other cardiovascular diseases.

  • 2

    Recent findings show that a higher FRS is associated with an increased risk of developing cancer and heart failure.

  • 3

    The study reinforces the idea that cardiovascular and cancer risks share common factors and biological pathways.

  • 4

    The FRS can serve as a population-level screening tool for identifying individuals at risk for both cardiovascular disease and cancer.

  • 5

    Future research should explore the integration of inflammatory or genetic markers to enhance the predictive power of the FRS.
