Biological Age Calculator

Assess your body's true age based on lifestyle factors, health habits, and family history

Disclaimer: This calculator provides an estimate based on lifestyle factors and is not a medical diagnosis. Consult healthcare professionals for accurate health assessments.

Assess Your Biological Age

Don't know your BMI? Calculate it: BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)²

Age-related diseases include: heart disease, diabetes, stroke, cancer

Chronic conditions: hypertension, diabetes, asthma, arthritis, depression, etc.

What is the difference between chronological age and biological age?

Chronological age is the actual amount of time you've been alive since birth. Biological age reflects how your body has aged physically based on lifestyle, genetics, and environmental factors. Two people with the same chronological age can have very different biological ages depending on their health habits and life circumstances.

Can I reduce my biological age?

Yes! Unlike chronological age, biological age can be influenced by lifestyle changes. Research shows that improving diet, increasing physical activity, reducing stress, getting adequate sleep, and avoiding harmful habits like smoking can reduce biological age. Some studies suggest biological age can be reduced by several years with comprehensive lifestyle interventions.

How accurate is this biological age calculator?

This calculator provides an estimate based on established risk factors for aging. While it can give you a general idea of how your lifestyle affects your aging process, it's not as precise as clinical tests that measure biomarkers like telomere length, DNA methylation, or cellular senescence. For the most accurate assessment, consult healthcare providers who can perform comprehensive biological age testing.

What medical tests can determine biological age more accurately?

Several scientific methods can measure biological age more precisely: DNA methylation clocks (epigenetic age testing), Telomere length measurement, Senescent cell burden testing, Inflammatory marker panels, Metabolic health assessments, Cardiovascular fitness testing.

What lifestyle changes have the biggest impact on biological age?

Research suggests these changes have the most significant impact on reducing biological age: Quitting smoking (can reduce biological age by 5-10 years), Regular moderate exercise (3-5 times per week), Quality sleep (7-9 hours per night), Plant-rich, anti-inflammatory diet, Stress management (meditation, yoga, mindfulness), Maintaining healthy weight, Limited alcohol consumption, Strong social connections.

At what age should I start worrying about biological age?

It's never too early to start thinking about biological age. While biological age typically starts diverging more noticeably from chronological age in your 30s and 40s, the habits that affect aging begin accumulating from childhood and young adulthood. Starting healthy habits early can prevent premature aging and set the foundation for a longer, healthier life. However, it's also never too late to start - even people in their 60s and 70s can improve their biological age through lifestyle changes.
