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 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.
