Some clarification needed

I am a medical director at a prison hospital and many of the patients have not smoked for years. However, I do not know whether not to classify them as smokers are non-smokers. It seems too cut and dried. Also, diabetes, I am sure the risk increases immeasurably depending on the control of the patients diabetes. Also, I believe the patients BMI would also be a factor in the cardiac risk.

I have done now the calculation on several of my patients. And it appears to me the biggest risk factor is age. However, I do find it a very useful app. It does help me determine the preventive services that the patient needs.
