I am worried about the NHS Heart Age tool at:
https://www.nhs.uk/Tools/Pages/heartage.aspx
I am 62 and it gives me a heart age of 81. Can this be correct?
I have Type 2 diabetes, I am slightly overweight BMI 26.4, and I take one blood pressure pill (Losartan). Are these adverse factors really high enough to increase my heart age from 62 to 81?
I am concerned that this tool is highly misleading in adding 19 years to my heart age when my diabetes is very well controlled.
What do others think?
