PhenoAge Biological Age Calculator
The PhenoAge Biological Age Calculator estimates your physiological age using clinical biomarkers like blood pressure and glucose levels. This tool helps health-conscious adults understand how their body is aging compared to their calendar years. Whether you are tracking longevity progress, evaluating health risks, or optimizing lifestyle habits, this calculator provides actionable insights.
How Biological Age Is Calculated
Biological age reflects the physiological state of your body rather than just the number of years you have lived. The calculation relies on the PhenoAge algorithm, a robust method that combines specific blood chemistry markers with lifestyle factors.
- First, we analyze your key biomarkers, including BMI, blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose, to assess your metabolic and cardiovascular health.
- Next, we factor in lifestyle choices such as smoking status, cigarettes per day, and exercise frequency to see how daily habits impact aging.
- Finally, these inputs are processed to determine an age that predicts mortality risk and overall vitality more accurately than chronological age alone.
This method relies on established clinical data to provide a realistic estimate of your internal aging process.
What Your Biological Age Means
Your result reveals if your body is aging faster or slower than expected based on your calendar age. Comparing the two figures helps you understand your current health status and potential future risks.
| Category | Age Difference | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Rejuvenated | > 5 years younger | Body functions significantly younger than calendar years; top tier for longevity markers. |
| Optimal | 1 to 5 years younger | Aging slower than average; better cardiovascular and metabolic health than median. |
| Normal | ± 1 year | Body age matches calendar age; aligns with average statistical aging trajectory. |
| Elevated | 1 to 5 years older | Aging faster than calendar suggests; physiological markers align with an older demographic. |
| High Risk | > 5 years older | Significant acceleration of aging; markers suggest higher morbidity risk. |
Important: This metric is a snapshot in time and can change. If your result is "Elevated" or "High Risk," focusing on reducing blood pressure, quitting smoking, and increasing exercise can help lower your biological age over time.
