		WHO Cardiovascular Disease Risk Calculator // 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 using region-specific incidence rates and
		risk factor distributions derived from the Emerging Risk
		Factors Collaboration. Functions are fully vectorized for
		efficient batch calculations and support automatic country-to-
		region mapping via ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country codes.
