Your result compares chronological age to estimated heart age and also reports your 10-year ASCVD risk. A heart age close to or below your actual age suggests a more favorable risk profile. A heart age above your actual age suggests a higher risk-factor burden and a higher long-term cardiovascular risk trajectory.

Use the age gap as a communication tool rather than a diagnosis. A larger positive gap can help prioritize risk reduction actions such as blood pressure optimization, smoking cessation, and lipid management.

Use this tool during preventive cardiology counseling, annual wellness visits, or personal risk check-ins when you want a simpler way to communicate risk than percentages alone. It is especially useful for motivating lifestyle change in people with borderline or intermediate risk.

Pair this result with ASCVD risk and blood pressure category tools to plan practical next steps and follow-up intervals.

Heart age is an estimate built on population-level risk equations and does not capture all individual risk modifiers such as family history details, coronary calcium score, inflammatory disorders, or socioeconomic factors.

It should not replace clinician assessment, especially in people with established cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, familial lipid disorders, or atypical risk profiles where individualized management is required.
