    This study introduces a test battery to objectively measure biological age, defined as functional age. This practical screening method aids gerontology in diagnostics, financial planning, and health assessments.

    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Biometrics
    • Psychometrics

    Context:

    • Biological age is a complex functional state.
    • Current methods for assessing biological age vary in scope and practicality.
    • Objective, standardized assessment is crucial for gerontological applications.

    Purpose:

    • To present a comprehensive test battery for objectifying biological age.
    • To utilize clinico-functional, psychological, and psychosocial methods for assessment.
    • To apply mathematical evaluation methods for functional age determination.

    Summary:

    • A test battery combining clinico-functional, psychological, and psychosocial assessments was developed.
    • Mathematical methods are employed to objectify biological age as a functional age.

  • The battery is designed for ambulatory use, offering economic and temporal efficiency.
  • Impact:

    • Provides a standardized, reliable, and practical screening tool for gerontological practice.
    • Supports aptitude diagnostics, annuity computations, and preventive/therapeutic health strategies.
    • Offers significant potential for scientific research in aging and functional status.
