Calculate Your Hearts Age

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that about 69 million adults have hearts
that are 5 years older than their actual age. It has been found that most of the people are not as
young at their heart as they believe they are.
CDC found 40% of adults had hearts that were
five or more years older than their actual ages
using a machine calculator which measures age,
BMI, blood pressure. As per the CDC Director
Tom Frieden to reveal a persons risk of heart
attack is best measured by the heart risk
calculator. The Heart Age calculator test is
designed to give you an overall idea of the
health of your heart, and a general indication of
how lifestyle related factors may affect your
heart health. This test is not intended to be a
medical diagnostic. But it will give you a good
general indication of whether theres more you
can do to take care of your heart.
Heart age is an understandable simple tool for
people to understand their heart risk," Frieden
said. This type of study is the very first analysis
of its kind which was examined on half a million
adults aged between 30 and 74.
As per CDC, people can reduce their heart disease risk and make it younger by regular exercise,
diet control and not smoking. More than 75% of heart disease cases can be prevented with
certain lifestyle changes.
