Heart and blood vessel diseases affect over 82 million Americans and kill more than 813,000 people each year. High blood pressure, heart attack, heart failure, and stroke are all types of heart and blood vessel disease. You can greatly reduce your risk by living a healthy lifestyle, which may prevent cardiovascular disease by over 75%. The Harvard School of Public Health has created a risk assessment tool designed to give a general overview of your risk of having a heart attack or stroke in the next 20 years.
The results of the survey display your risk of cardiovascular disease from individual factors such as BMI, physical activity, smoking, eating and drinking habits, as well as your overall risk. You can also view personalized recommendations for improving or maintaining health habits.
