Tough Question.: Average for 1st heart attack is 66 for men and 70 for women.With that said, your_individual risk_ depends on your good & bad cholesterol, blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, post-menopause for women, older than 45 for men, and a history of heart disease in your family members. Diet, exercise and your weight factor in also.If you are worried, let your doctor help you sort out your individual risk.
