Most US Adults Have Hearts Older Than Their Actual Age
- Most American adults live with a heart age older than their actual age, which silently raises the risk of heart disease, stroke, and early death long before symptoms appear
- On average, women's hearts are about four years older than their bodies, while men's are nearly seven years older, with many carrying a cardiovascular risk a full decade beyond their real age
- The burden of accelerated heart aging is heavier among people with lower income, less education, and minority backgrounds, widening health gaps across communities
- Researchers developed an online calculator that translates complex health data into an easy-to-understand "heart age," helping you see if your heart is aging faster than the rest of your body
- You can take practical steps to rewind your heart age by eliminating vegetable oils, eating enough healthy carbs, walking daily, getting safe sun exposure, and testing for insulin resistance
