While there is evidence that altering lifestyle factors can change an individual’s health risk, some changes may work quickly to lower risk, while others may take longer to achieve some benefit. The science is not definitive on the timing of the maximum benefit.
Accuracy of Risk Assessment
The risk scoring systems were developed in men and women who were free of the respective health outcome at baseline. Most algorithms are calibrated to either the Ontario or Canadian population. The calculations may not reflect risk for people from different populations. Please see our FAQs for more information.
