Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) Score Reference Values web tool will provide the estimated probability of non-zero calcium, and the 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles of the calcium score distribution for a particular age, gender and race.
To fill this gap, we aimed to perform the largest study of CAC in U.S. young adults to date by harmonizing 3 cohorts comprising 19,725 combined individuals to estimate the probability of CAC >0 and develop age-sex-race CAC percentile scores for individuals aged 30-45 years.
Calcium Calculator. Input your age, select your gender and race/ethnicity, input (optionally) your observed calcium score and click "Calculate".
What is a good calcium score by age? The best coronary calcium score at any age is zero, meaning you have no sign of calcification in your arteries.
CAC >0 automatically placed females at >90 th percentile. CAC >0 placed White males at the 90 th percentile at age 34 compared to Black males at age 37. An interactive webpage allows one to enter an age, sex, race, and CAC score to obtain the corresponding estimated percentile.
There were significant differences in calcium by race, and these associations differed across age and gender. For women, whites had the highest percentiles and Hispanics generally had the lowest; in the oldest age group, however, Chinese women had the lowest values.
CAC scores for 35,086 subjects were analyzed and characteristics were stratified by age, gender and diabetes mellitus (DM). Differences in median CAC with and without DM were tested with the Kruskal-Wallis Test by gender and age group.
