Chronological Age vs Biological Age: What Science Tells Us

Explore the biological biomarkers and cellular telomere metrics that differentiate physical age from calendar age.

Chronological Age vs Biological Age: What Science Tells Us

While your chronological age is permanently fixed to your date of birth, biological age measures the functional state of your cells, DNA methylation, and cardiovascular health.

Epigenetic Clocks & Telomere Length

Pioneering research by Dr. Steve Horvath established DNA methylation "epigenetic clocks" that assess biological decay. Lifestyle factors like sleep, exercise, and nutrition can cause biological age to be years younger—or older—than calendar age.
