Is your heart aging faster than you? Here's how to check its biological age.

Is your heart older than you are? A free, newly developed online calculator may be able to tell you, according to a large-scale study of heart health published Wednesday in JAMA Cardiology. Based on the most current equations about risks for cardiovascular disease, the calculator uses answers to a few simple questions about blood pressure, cholesterol status and other common measures of health, to determine your heart's biological age, which can be different from your body's chronological or calendar age.
