Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate my exact age?

Does age matter for health outcomes?

Biological vs chronological age: Chronological age (calendar age) is a poor predictor of individual health outcomes. Biological age (measured by DNA methylation, telomere length, organ function) varies significantly between people of the same chronological age. A 50-year-old who exercises, does not smoke, maintains healthy weight, and sleeps well may have biological age of 40. A sedentary 50-year-old smoker may have biological age of 65.
