How would you disseminate?
Heart Age Strategy
• A media release with our university media office • Pitched a Conversation article to explain heart age (in the week before it
would be published). • The editor suggested a broader explanation of biological age to tie in with a recent
TV program aired on ABC/BBC, and the article was published with a link.• Republished by the ABC news website -> led to much more views, 5
national radio interviews and 1 TV request. • Discussed by prominent UK GPs on twitter as part of a debate/backlash
against the UK heart age tool. • The Australian Heart Foundation asked for advice on their heart age
calculator at a later stage based on this and other papers on the topic, which we think led to some changes being made in line with the above paper.
