NHS Heart Disease Calculator

www.nhs.ukWWW.NHS.UK

Heart disease is one of the country's biggest killers and many factors can increase your risk. What's more, the risk factors don't just add up. As you have more of them, their effect multiplies. The good news is that if you have a lot of risk factors, then acting to reduce one or two of them could make a big cut to your risk.

See how much you are at risk for heart disease.

The lose-a-pound calculator can provide you
a more realistic timeline for losing weight
based on how much weight you wish to lose.
Rather than focusing on how many pounds you need to lose, use the calculator to determine how many calories you can realistically burn with your favorite activities.
