Subgroup fairness was assessed using percentile calibration plots and Cross Concordance Index metric. The incremental value of SDOH was evaluated by comparing discrimination, calibration, and fairness across models.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec xml:lang=\"en\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p xml:lang=\"en\">The 10\u2010year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease event rate was 1.8%. Most subgroups exhibited consistent calibration and the Cross Concordance Index values. The most pronounced disparities were observed between White and Asian participants (event rate: 10.3% versus 6.6% at the 95th percentile; Cross Concordance Index=0.849 versus 0.679), and private and public insurance groups (event rate: 0.7% versus 1.5% at the 25th percentile; Cross Concordance Index=0.578 versus 0.859).
