Biological Age Calculator
What is Biological Age?
Biological age, also known as physiological age, is a measure of how well or poorly your body is functioning relative to your chronological age. Unlike chronological age, which is simply the number of years you’ve been alive, biological age takes into account various factors that affect your health and longevity. These factors include lifestyle choices, genetics, and environmental influences.
