The Centers for Disease Control have released a new report using data from the famous Framingham Heart Study. The CDC developed a calculator to give a "heart age". The report unfortunately shows that American men have heart ages 8 years older and American women 5 years older than chronological ages. A clinical study showed that use of the heart age made it much more likely that people would make positive changes for their heart.
Your heart is probably much older than you think, the CDC warns
