Dr. Jason Guichard presents this blog post to help determine one’s estimated “heart age”.
In his blog he writes “If the age of your heart is older than your actual age, you are at higher risk for developing cardiovascular disease. Heart age simplifies the evaluation of heart risk and, hopefully, motivates more people to start and continue heart-healthy lifestyle changes.”
What you need to determine your heart’s age is the following:
- Systolic blood pressure
- BMI
Once you have these items, you can go to the “Heart Age” Calculator and answer a few simple questions. With a tap of the “calculate” button, voila! You now know your “Heart Age”.
Are you on the right track to keep your heart young?
