(CBS News) – Looking old for your age could mean you’re at risk for heart disease.

A new study presented at an American Heart Association conference finds people with receding hairlines, baldness, creases near the ear lobes or fatty deposits around the eyelids have a higher chance of developing heart disease.

Doctors say those aging signs indicate poor cardiovascular health.

However, wrinkles and gray hair did not increase heart risk.
