The Science Behind the Calculator:

Why These Numbers MatterBiological age is different from chronological age.

While your birth certificate tells us how long you have existed, your biological age reveals how fast your body is aging on the inside.To calculate this accurately, our algorithm uses specific, scientifically proven biomarkers that correlate strongly with longevity and overall health. Here is why we ask for these specific metrics:

 

1. Resting Heart Rate (Cardiovascular Efficiency) Your resting heart rate is one of the most reliable indicators of heart health. A lower heart rate generally signals a strong heart muscle and an efficient cardiovascular system. It is a direct reflection of your aerobic fitness and stress levels.

 

2. The Balance Test (Neuromuscular Health) Why stand on one leg? The ability to balance is a powerful predictor of brain health and longevity. It measures the communication between your vision, inner ear, and muscles. Declining balance is often one of the first silent signs of aging, making this test crucial for a true biological assessment.

 

3. Physical Activity: Steps & Training Intensity We measure both volume (steps per day) and intensity (training minutes).Steps: Indicate your baseline activity, vital for metabolic health.Training Minutes: Reflect your effort to build muscle and maintain heart capacity. Together, they counteract inflammation and cellular aging.

 

4. Body Composition (Height & Weight) These inputs allow us to calculate BMI (Body Mass Index). While not a perfect measure on its own, when combined with activity levels, it provides a clear picture of metabolic load. Maintaining a healthy weight range is fundamental to reducing the "wear and tear" on your internal organs.

 

5. Sleep Duration (Recovery) Sleep is when your body repairs DNA and clears toxins from the brain. Chronic lack of sleep is directly linked to accelerated biological aging. By factoring in your sleep habits, we assess your body’s ability to recover and regenerate.
