HealthDoctors Explain Heart Age and Cardiovascular Risks on World Heart Day 2026
On World Heart Day 2026, doctors highlight that your heart age may differ from your actual age due to cardiovascular risk factors like high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, obesity, inactivity, poor diet, stress, and inadequate sleep. These factors can silently damage the heart and vessels, increasing risks of heart attack, stroke, or heart failure earlier than expected, says Dr Chirag D from Aster Whitefield Hospital.
