Biological Age
An estimate of how old a person's body is physiologically, based on biomarkers rather than date of birth.

Biological age reflects the functional state of your organs, tissues, and systems — independent of your chronological age. Two people born on the same day can have dramatically different biological ages based on lifestyle, genetics, and environmental exposures. Biological age is typically estimated using blood biomarkers (via the Klemera-Doubal Method), epigenetic clocks (Horvath, GrimAge), or composite panels. Research shows that biological age is a stronger predictor of mortality, disease risk, and functional capacity than chronological age. The gap between biological and chronological age (the 'bio-age delta') is a key health optimization target.— PaceSovereign Glossary
