My score was 205. Male, 66, active, never overweight. It was probably hereditary. I'm on a statin and am more careful with diet. I'm a runner, and my cardiologist encouraged me to keep doing so.

One thing to remember is that it's likely most people over a certain age have a score above zero. They just don't know it. It's rare that anyone in a developed country makes it through life with perfectly clear arteries. It happens slowly over years and there are no symptoms until it gets bad enough to restrict blood flow.

My approach is to be highly proactive with health, so if there's a test that tells me something I need to know, I'm all for it. I've also had an angiogram.
