Biological age provides a rating of the human body’s current state not only by chronological age, but also by its functional and biological features. Research shows that biological age may differ from chronological age and offer a more informative indicator of a person’s health status and degree of aging. Many scientists believe that biological age is an indicator based on biological processes that occur in the human body. Various methods can be used to assess the level of biological aging, including epigenetic clocks, biomarkers, and functional tests. The emergence of new methods to rate biological age helps predict mortality risks and assess the extent to which a person’s body has aged. There is also the concept of psychological age, which is determined based on people’s internal perception of their age and ability to recognize themselves in the surrounding world. Psychological age may not be consistent with chronological age and may also influence a person’s overall perception of aging. As such, biological age is an essential concept for understanding the aging process and preserving one’s long-term health. It includes many factors, such as genetics, lifestyle, environmental exposure, and other influences on the body. What does the concept of biological age include? What innovative methods and techniques can be used to measure biological age? How can we rejuvenate our bodies and slow down biological aging? What implications does research into biological age management have for the healthcare system?
