Your Heart & Bio Age
Heart disease ≠ game over
Even with existing heart disease, targeted lifestyle changes can dramatically slow biological aging and reduce further cardiovascular events by 60-80%.

LDL-C alone misleads — ApoB is what to track
LDL cholesterol is a concentration; ApoB is a particle count. Two people with the same LDL can have different particle counts (and different actual risk). Sniderman's 2019 JAMA Cardiology meta-analysis showed ApoB out-performs LDL-C as a CV predictor in nearly every cohort. Ask your GP for ApoB at the next blood draw — most labs run it for free.

Key Takeaway
ApoB and VO2 max are the two numbers that matter most for heart longevity. Know your numbers and track them regularly.
