How to Use This Calculator

Enter age, total cholesterol (mg/dL), HDL cholesterol (mg/dL), and systolic blood pressure (mmHg) from your most recent lab results.
Indicate smoking status, diabetes, and whether you take blood pressure medication.
Enter weekly exercise hours and waist circumference (cm) for lifestyle risk adjustment.
Review 10-year CV risk (%) and your Estimated heart age compared to your actual age.
Use Exercise risk reduction (%) and Cholesterol ratio to identify your most modifiable risk factors.

What each input means

Age: Your current age (20-80).
Total cholesterol (mg/dL): Total cholesterol from blood work.
HDL cholesterol (mg/dL): High-density lipoprotein ('good') cholesterol.
Systolic blood pressure (mmHg): The top number in your blood pressure reading.
Current smoker (0=No, 1=Yes): 1 if you currently smoke.
Diabetic (0=No, 1=Yes): 1 if you have diabetes.
On BP medication (0=No, 1=Yes): 1 if currently taking blood pressure medication.
Exercise (hrs/week): Hours of moderate-intensity exercise per week.
Waist circumference (cm): Waist circumference at navel level. Over 102 cm indicates elevated risk.

What each result means

10-year CV risk (%): Estimated 10-year risk of a major cardiovascular event (Framingham-based).
Exercise-adjusted risk (%): 10-year risk adjusted downward for physical activity.
Risk category (0/1/2): 0=low (<10%), 1=moderate (10-20%), 2=high (>20%).
Estimated heart age: Your biological heart age based on risk factors.
Framingham points: Total Framingham Risk Score points.
Total/HDL cholesterol ratio: Total cholesterol divided by HDL. Target below 5.
Ratio elevated? (1=Yes): 1 if cholesterol ratio exceeds 5.
Exercise risk reduction (%): Percentage risk reduction from your exercise habits.
Waist risk elevated? (1=Yes): 1 if waist circumference exceeds 102 cm (abdominal obesity).
