Health after 40: common questions
How do I check my heart attack risk?
Use a risk calculator built on current guidelines with numbers from a routine check-up: blood pressure, total and HDL cholesterol and, if you have it, kidney function. Our free heart attack risk calculator uses the American Heart Association PREVENT equations for adults aged 30 to 79 and takes about three minutes.
What matters most for health after 40?
Two things do the most work: knowing your numbers (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and waist size) and staying strong. Muscle helps control blood sugar, protects your balance and keeps you independent. Two short strength sessions a week and daily walking are a strong start. See the heart health and strength guides.
Is it too late to improve your health after 40?
No. Blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and fitness all respond to changes at any age, often within weeks to months. Adults who become active later in life still gain fitness and strength.
Do I need supplements after 40?
Most people do not need many. Creatine has good evidence when combined with strength training, and vitamin D or B12 help if a blood test shows you are low. Our supplements guide explains what large trials found and what you can skip.
