How it's calculated
Each of the 8 areas scores 0–100 using the AHA Life's Essential 8 thresholds; the overall score is their average. 80+ is high cardiovascular health, 50–79 moderate, below 50 low.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a 'biological age' test?
No — there's no reliable quiz for biological age. Instead this uses the AHA's evidence-based Life's Essential 8 score; higher scores are linked to longer life free of heart disease and other chronic conditions.
What if I don't know my cholesterol or blood sugar?
Choose 'Don't know' — those areas are left out of the average. A routine check-up can measure them.
What's a good score?
80 or more is considered high cardiovascular health. Most US adults score in the moderate range (about 65).
