This arterial age calculator takes the figures you already have and applies the relationship behind arterial age calculations for you, giving arterial age from calcium score and one way.
What Is the Arterial Age Calculator?
The arterial age calculator gives you an estimate of arterial age based on calcium score and one way.
It is a quick reference figure rather than a diagnosis, and it is most useful for tracking how a number moves over time rather than for interpreting a single reading.
How the Arterial Age Estimate Is Worked Out
The calculation follows published reference relationships, so it is a reasonable approximation when the inputs are accurate. It assumes an average adult and does not account for individual variation.
If you are comparing two people, or the same person over a period of weeks, keep the method and the inputs identical. A change in the method can easily look like a change in the person.
What This Calculator Does Not Do
It does not diagnose anything, and it does not replace advice from a clinician. If a figure comes out at an extreme, or if it differs sharply from what you expect, that is a reason to speak to a professional rather than to adjust the inputs.

A Worked Example
Working through an example, with calcium score set to 10, one way set to 5, the calculator returns arterial age of 56.48. Substitute your own figures and the same steps produce the same kind of answer.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to work out arterial age?
Enter calcium score and one way. The calculator then works through the relationship and reports arterial age.
What does the arterial age actually calculate?
It takes calcium score and one way and converts them into arterial age using the standard relationship for this problem. Each step is applied in turn, so every output is traceable back to the numbers you typed in.
How should I enter calcium score?
Use the value you actually have, in the unit shown next to the field. Enter every value in the same unit system. The calculator assumes the figures you supply are consistent, so it cannot correct a mistake that happens before the calculation starts.
Do I have to fill in every field?
Only the fields a particular result depends on. If you leave one blank, the results that need it simply show a note instead of a number, and everything else still works.
Does anything you type get stored?
No. The whole calculation runs inside your browser, and nothing you enter is uploaded, logged or sent anywhere.
