A member asked:
I had a calcium score scan. the results was a score of 80. i was told this is considered low risk, but of course a score closer to zero would be ideal. is 80 truly no cause for concern can more diet and exercise help lower this or keep it from rising?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, diet and exercise would definitely be helpful. Take care.
