Estimation of CVD risk using a risk score such as Framingham, SCORE, ASSING, JBS is usually done for an individual. But has this ever been done on a population wide basis, i.e. average risk for CVD is x% in US using the Framingham Risk Score?
Yes, R.G. Oganov, G.Ya. Maslennikova, S.A. Shalnova, A.D. Deev, S.A. Boytsov///
Yes, we did for Australia using individual-based National Health Survey data for Australia that also allowed computing population-wide estimates.
Details are in Chapter 8 of :

If you search for papers by Earl Ford you will find that analyses using NHANES to calculate CVD risk using FRS scores have been published for the US population.
