    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Biomedical Sciences

    Context:

    • Biological age reflects an organism's physical and psychic state at a given chronological age.
    • Understanding biological age is crucial for assessing health and aging trajectories.

    Purpose:

    • To develop and validate methods for measuring biological age in humans.
    • To assess biological age across diverse populations, including those with risk factors like obesity, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus.

    Summary:

    • This study reports on experiments using comprehensive test batteries to quantify biological age.
    • Over 1000 individuals, comprising 'normal subjects' and patients with specific risk factors, have been evaluated.
    • The research integrates physical and psychic parameters to define biological age.
