Calculating your body age can be a way to learn whether or not you're living a healthy, more youthful life, but it is not an exact, scientifically accurate gauge and shouldn't replace professional diagnosis. It's easy to calculate your real age, also known as your "chronological age," but getting a number for your biological age involves going through a list of physical tests and assessing your current lifestyle. The number you get can tell you a lot about your health habits and can be helpful in figuring out how to make changes in your life, especially if you want your biological age to go down as your chronological age goes up!
