Data Coverage: Questionnaire
This is a questionnaire developed by the Hong Kong Centre for Cerebro-cardiovascular Health Engineering (HKCOCHE) to evaluate the risk of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), Diabetes, and Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA). This 21-item questionnaire is derived from the Framingham Risk Score, the CANRISK Tool, and the STOP-Bang Questionnaire, which are well validated questionnaires and tools used globally. The following results are recorded: 1. Heart Age 2. 10-Year Risk of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) 3. 10-Year Risk of Type 2 Diabetes 4. Risk of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) Please note: This questionnaire gives an informal estimation of the above results
