Do you know your heart age? We often think of our health in terms of the years we've had and make changes to adapt to that - like picking up strength training to maintain muscle mass through menopause or changing our eating habits for vitamin deficiencies. But other metrics are available to work out what's going on inside our bodies as well, and heart age is one of them.
Heart attacks in women may be less common than in men - but when they do happen, they carry a higher risk of fatality. While modern medicine is catching up with itself to offer women safer testing for heart attacks, knowing how to reduce the risk of one is undoubtedly the way forward. Knowing your heart age is one way to do this as it helps to determine your risk of a heart attack and/or stroke to begin with.
