Question: What does the concept "heart age" mean?

Hi Blanca,

It is a measure that can be used to estimate how young your heart is and your risk of having coronary disease. It takes into account enviromental factors like blood pressure, cholesterol, tobacco (and also your real age) and also genetic factors to estimate if your heart is younger or older than the rest of your body.
