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
