NHLBIHIN

An independent reference site preserving archived health tools, recipes, publications and slide sets that were once published from this web address.

The pages here are rebuilt from archived copies of the originals. Where the original text is available it is reproduced as published, and where an item could not be recovered the page says so. This page is the index: each link below says what the page it leads to contains.

Tools

Calculators and planners from the original site, rebuilt to run in the browser. Nothing entered is sent anywhere.

10-year CVD Risk Calculator: Estimates the 10-year risk of a heart attack or coronary death from age, sex, total and HDL cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, blood pressure treatment and smoking, using the ATP III Framingham point tables. It has a public and a health professional version, and the ATP III quick desk reference is reproduced beneath it.
Portion Distortion quizzes: Both Portion Distortion quizzes in full, slide by slide: the portion and calories of each food 20 years ago and today, the calorie difference, and how long a named activity takes to burn it off. Three of the original interactive question pages are kept as well.
Interactive Menu Planner: Adds up a day of meals against a target of 1200 to 2000 calories. Foods come from the archived planner's seven food-group lists, in half-serving steps, with running totals for calories, fat and carbohydrate.
BMI Calculator: Calculates body mass index from height and weight in U.S. or metric units and shows the adult category, a height and weight chart, and the archived table that pairs BMI with waist circumference.
Keep an Eye on Portion Size: The archived page on the difference between a portion and a serving, with the Serving Size Card to download.
