In the report, "Vital Signs: Predicted Heart Age and Racial Disparities in Heart Age Among U.S. Adults at the State Level," on pages 956–7, the Figure had multiple errors. The corrected Figure follows.
FIGURE. Excess heart age among U.S. adults without and with diabetes, by sex, chronological age, smoking status, and untreated systolic blood pressure*†
Alternate Text: The figure above is a diagram showing excess heart age among U.S. adults without and with diabetes, by sex, chronological age, smoking status, and untreated systolic blood pressure.
FIGURE. (Continued) Excess heart age among U.S. adults without and with diabetes, by sex, chronological age, smoking status, and untreated systolic blood pressure*†
* To determine a person's predicted excess heart age using these charts, follow these steps. Identify the person's 1) diabetes status (without or with diabetes); 2) sex (woman or man); 3) smoking status (nonsmoker or smoker); 4) chronological age (rounded to the nearest value of 30, 40, 50, 60, or 70 years); 5) systolic blood pressure (rounded to the nearest value of 120, 140, 160, or 180 mm Hg); and 6) body mass index (rounded to the nearest value of 20, 25, 30, 35, or 40). The value in the corresponding box is the person's predicted excess heart age. This value can be added to the person's chronological age to determine his or her predicted heart age. For example, a male smoker aged 50 years with untreated systolic blood pressure of 140 mm Hg, no diabetes, and a body mass index of 30, has a predicted excess heart age of 22 years and a heart age of 72 years.
† An upper limit of predicted heart age has been set at 100 years.
