February is Heart Health Month in Canada. Heart disease is the No. 1 cause of mortality in Canada. Did you know your heart can age faster than you do?
Why not use MyHealthCheckUp's free online cardiovascular-age calculator?
Designed by researchers at McGill University and the University of Alberta, the test is free for all Canadians over 30. You can find the heart age calculator here.
The program can also pair participants with select community pharmacists to help them improve their adherence with prescribed medications and healthy lifestyle habits to reduce their risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke.
The study will demonstrate how effectively participants can live healthier by reducing their heart-disease risk factors including: high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, smoking, excess weight, and inactivity.
The MyHealthCheckUp Community Pharmacy Program was developed by the faculty and staff of the McGill Comprehensive Health Improvement Program (CHIP) in Montreal and the EPICORE Center, Department of Medicine at the University of Alberta in Edmonton.
