Heart Age Calculator

Heart Age Estimator

This is an educational estimator — not a medical diagnosis. For clinical risk assessment consult a healthcare professional.

Smoking status Never smoker Former smoker Current smoker Systolic blood pressure (mm Hg) Total cholesterol (mg/dL) Diabetes

No Yes

Body Mass Index (BMI)

Note: This uses a simple points-based heuristic for educational purposes only. A true clinical "heart age" uses validated risk models (e.g., Framingham, QRISK, SCORE) with more precise coefficients.

 

A Heart Age Calculator is a simple tool that estimates the “age” of your heart based on your cardiovascular health.  It compares your heart’s condition to what is considered normal for your actual age.  A higher risk of heart disease may be indicated if your heart age is higher than your actual age. How does it function? The calculator uses key health factors to estimate your heart’s “age,” such as:

 ✅ Age (biological age)

  Gender (men's and women's risk profiles are different) ✅ Blood Pressure (high BP increases heart age)

 ✅ Cholesterol Levels (LDL, HDL, and total cholesterol)

  Smoking Status (smoking makes the heart age more quickly) ✅ Diabetes Status (diabetes increases risk)

 BMI and weight (obesity puts pressure on the heart)  Family History (genetics are an important factor) The tool estimates whether your heart is younger, older, or the same as your actual age based on these inputs. Why Use a Heart Age Calculator?

 ✔ Early Warning – Helps identify heart disease risks before symptoms appear.

 ✔ Motivation for Change – Seeing an older heart age may encourage healthier habits.

 ✔ Simple & Quick – Takes just a few minutes to complete.

 ✔ Free & Accessible – Many health organizations offer it online.

 Where Can You Find a Reliable Heart Age Calculator?

 🔹 NHS (UK) –

 🔹 American Heart Association 

 🔹 CDC & WHO – Some government health sites provide similar tools.

 What If My Heart Age is Higher Than My Real Age?

 If the calculator shows your heart is “older” than you are, it’s a sign to take action:

 Improve diet (reduce salt, sugar, and unhealthy fats)

 Exercise regularly (150 mins/week of moderate activity)

 Stop smoking (if necessary). Manage stress & sleep better

 Get regular check-ups (BP, cholesterol, diabetes tests)

 Limitations of Heart Age Calculators

  Not a diagnosis—An estimate only, not a medical examination. ⚠ Generalized Data – May not account for all individual factors.

  Should Not Take the Place of a Doctor's Advice: Always get a full evaluation from a medical professional. Would you like recommendations on how to lower your heart age?  😊
