Apple Disclaimer:

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ This Stroke Riskometer has been created by AUT Enterprises Limited of AUT University, in collaboration with the New Zealand Stroke Education Trust, a charitable, non-government organisation.

Your use of the Stroke Riskometer is subject to the below terms and conditions. Your use of this Stroke Riskometer is at your own risk. While we have used reasonable endeavours to ensure that this Stroke Riskometer contains information and data that is accurate and up to date, we cannot guarantee that this Stroke Riskometer is 100% accurate, complete, up to date, or free from errors.

In particular, we cannot guarantee that any stroke risk prediction obtained from using the Stroke Riskometer will be 100% accurate or reliable. A number of factors may impact on the risk of someone having a stroke, and this Stroke Riskometer attempts to identify the most common factors. However, every person is different, and we cannot anticipate or foresee every risk factor that might apply to a particular individual.

Additionally, this Stroke Riskometer is one of many tools available to identify stroke risk. This Stroke Riskometer is not intended as a complete substitute for such other methods. In particular, the information contained in the Stroke Riskometer, and the results obtained from using the Stroke Riskometer, are not intended as a substitute for professional health advice. No person should act in sole reliance on such information or results. If you are concerned about your stroke risk, you should consult a medical professional.

If you agree to the above terms and conditions you should press “Accept” below. Otherwise, you should press “Decline”, in which case you will be unable to use the Stroke Riskometer. Once clicked “Accept”, this massage above is replaced with the following: Congratulations on taking the first step towards understanding and managing your risk of stroke. Using the risk calculator is confidential, free, and takes about 2-3 minutes to calculate your personalized risk of stroke within the next 5 and 10 years.

The algorithms for stroke prediction used by this Stroke Riskometer are based on the famous American Framingham Heart Study, and have been enhanced to include additional variables shown to be important risk factors for stroke.

Although this calculator estimates the risk of stroke, it can be used to inform you of the risk of having a heart attack. If you find out that you are at an increased risk of having a stroke, you are at an even greater risk of having a heart attack. The Stroke Riskometer recommendations for preventing a stroke also apply to prevention of a heart attack.

To use the risk calculator, simply enter all your details and then press the ‘continue' button.
