Description: Implements the 2019 World Health Organization (WHO) cardiovascular 
    disease (CVD) risk prediction models, as described in Kaptoge et al. (2019) 
    <doi:10.1016/S2214-109X(19)30318-3>. Provides two validated models for 
    estimating 10-year risk of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events 
    (myocardial infarction and stroke): a laboratory-based model using age, sex, 
    systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, smoking status, and diabetes 
    history; and a non-laboratory-based model substituting body mass index (BMI) 
    for cholesterol and diabetes, suitable for resource-limited settings. Risk 
    estimates are recalibrated to 21 Global Burden of Disease regions (or to 
    individual countries) using the authors' recalibration parameters, fitted 
    to Global Burden of Disease 2017 incidence rates and Non-Communicable 
    Disease Risk Factor Collaboration risk factor levels. Functions are fully 
    vectorized for efficient batch calculations and support automatic 
    country-to-region mapping via ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country codes.
