Assess your cardiovascular health compared to your real age
Your heart age is an estimate of your cardiovascular health compared to your chronological age. It considers risk factors like blood pressure, cholesterol, and lifestyle habits to determine if your heart is aging faster or slower than your actual age.
Knowing your heart age can be a wake-up call to make positive health changes:
This advanced calculator provides multiple benefits:
Getting your heart age is simple:
Note: Have your latest blood test results handy for most accurate assessment.
Regular heart age checks are important because:
The American Heart Association recommends regular cardiovascular risk assessments for adults over 40.

What is Heart Age?
Heart age is a concept that compares your cardiovascular risk to your chronological age. If your heart age is higher than your actual age, it suggests you have an increased risk of heart disease.
Factors like high blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking, and inactivity can age your heart faster than your chronological age.
A heart age younger than your actual age indicates good cardiovascular health.

How to Use the Heart Age Calculator with BMI Chart
Welcome to the Heart Age Calculator USA! This tool helps you understand your cardiovascular health by comparing your biological heart age to your chronological age.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a key factor in determining your heart age. Use this chart to find your category:
| BMI Range | Category | Health Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Below 18.5 | Underweight | Possible nutritional deficiency |
| 18.5 - 24.9 | Normal weight | Lowest heart disease risk |
| 25.0 - 29.9 | Overweight | Moderate increased risk |
| 30.0 - 34.9 | Obese (Class I) | High risk |
| 35.0 - 39.9 | Obese (Class II) | Very high risk |
| 40 and above | Extreme obesity | Extremely high risk |
BMI = (weight in pounds ÷ (height in inches)²) × 703
Example: For someone 5'9" (69 inches) weighing 160 lbs:
(160 ÷ (69 × 69)) × 703 = 23.6 (Normal weight)
