A Malaga cardiologist has revealed a simple test to evaluate how young your heart is.

Aurelio Rojas told his hundreds of thousands of TikTok followers that how you get up off the ground indicates whether your vital organ is up to 10 years younger – or 30 years older.

Rojas said to perform the test, simply sit on the floor with your legs and arms out in front.

Then, try to stand up without using your arms, or with as little support from them as possible.

‘If you can get up without even using your arms, then you get 10 points,’ he explains, meaning your heart is 10 years younger.

‘If you have to use one arm but it is not too difficult, then you get eight points,’ meaning that your heart and age in years are the same.

According to Rojas, if you have to use both arms, then you get six points, indicating your heart is 10 years older than your age.

If you really struggle to get up and have to use a lot of effort, then you get two points, and Rojas says your heart is therefore 20 years older than your real age.

And finally, if you are unable to get up, then you get zero points and are likely looking at a heart that is 30 years older than your actual age.
