Find out your heart's age based on cardiovascular risk factors
Heart age is a concept developed to help people understand their cardiovascular risk in relatable terms. It represents the age of a person with optimal cardiovascular risk factors who has the same risk of heart disease as you. A heart age older than your actual age suggests elevated cardiovascular risk.
Studies show that knowing your heart age can be more motivating for lifestyle changes than knowing your percentage risk. If your heart is "older" than you, the good news is that addressing risk factors can help "reverse" your heart age.
Heart age and vascular age are similar concepts. Both estimate the biological age of your cardiovascular system based on risk factors. Some calculations focus more on arterial stiffness while others focus on overall CVD risk.
Yes! By addressing modifiable risk factors like smoking, blood pressure, weight, and physical activity, many people can reduce their heart age. Quitting smoking alone can reduce heart age by 8-10 years.
A heart age older than your actual age indicates that you have more cardiovascular risk factors than the average person your age. Common contributors include high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, and obesity.
