Brief Summary

The Global Cardiovascular Risk Consortium (GCVRC) brings together harmonized individual-level data from currently more than 2 million (anticipated: approximately 3 million) individuals across 133 cohorts, 40 countries, and 6 continents, with recruitment ongoing. The GCVRC examines the impact of classical cardiovascular risk factors-such as body-mass index, systolic blood pressure, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, current smoking, and diabetes-on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and death from any cause worldwide.

Inclusion Criteria: Population-based individual-level data with available information on the classical cardiovascular risk factors including body-mass index, systolic blood pressure, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, current smoking, and diabetes, as well as the outcomes of interest. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants with age below 18 years * No information on the outcome of interest * No information on the exposure of interest (CVD risk factors) * History of CVD at baseline
