I had a visit with my cardiologist yesterday. I have all of the issues that raise my heart age - hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol. These conditions worsened once I was no longer able to exercise with the same intensity due to a hip injury. I take medications for all three. I still exercise regularly. When I took the PREVENT quiz, my heart is a full ten years older. I asked my cardiologist about these results and he reiterated that these studies should not be relied upon for individual results. He told me to keep doing what I was doing.
