Frequently asked questions
- What is biological age?
- Biological age measures how well or poorly your body is functioning relative to your actual chronological age. It reflects various biomarkers that indicate overall health status — and unlike your birth date, it can change in response to your lifestyle choices.
- How does the calculator work?
- The calculator uses the biomarker values you provide to estimate your phenotypic (biological) age based on the scientific model described in "An epigenetic biomarker of aging for lifespan and healthspan" by Levine et al. (2018). The calculation runs entirely in your browser — no data is sent to any server.
- Is the calculation accurate?
- The calculator provides a scientifically informed estimate rather than an absolute measure. It relies on population-level research and cannot account for all individual variations or genetic factors. Use it as a directional indicator, not a clinical diagnosis.
- How can I use phenotypic age information?
- Your phenotypic age helps you make more informed health decisions and serves as a motivating benchmark for lifestyle improvements. Tracking it over time — for example, after dietary or exercise changes — lets you see objective progress.
- Can I lower my biological age?
- Yes. Biological age can be positively influenced by improving your diet, increasing physical activity, managing stress, ensuring quality sleep, and addressing specific biomarker deficiencies. Many of these changes are reflected in the biomarkers this calculator uses.
- How often should I recalculate?
- We recommend recalculating annually, or after any significant change in your health habits or a new blood test. More frequent recalculation may not be meaningful given the rate at which biomarkers change.
- What if my result is higher than my chronological age?
- A higher phenotypic age suggests there may be room for lifestyle improvements that could positively affect your health trajectory. Consider consulting a qualified healthcare professional to interpret your specific biomarker values.
- Can I reverse ageing through habit changes?
- While chronological ageing cannot be reversed, it is possible to positively influence your biological age and overall health. Consistent lifestyle improvements — particularly in nutrition, sleep, and exercise — are associated with measurable improvements in the biomarkers this tool uses.
