Abstract
BACKGROUND: Respiratory diseases and Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) often coexist, with airflow obstruction (AO) severity closely linked to CVD incidence and mortality. As both conditions rise, early identification and intervention in risk populations are crucial. However, current CVD risk models inadequately consider AO as an independent risk factor. Therefore, developing an accurate risk prediction model can help identify and intervene early.
