Why we ask

Body mass index (BMI) is a quick guide to whether weight may be affecting your heart, joints and blood sugar. It isn't perfect, especially for very muscular people.

Learn about healthy ageing

Plain-English answers to the questions people search for most.

What is biological age?

Your chronological age is how many birthdays you've had. Your biological age is how old your body behaves: your heart, muscles, blood vessels and cells.

Scientists measure it in the lab with blood markers and "epigenetic clocks" that read chemical tags on your DNA. This calculator gives a simpler estimate using the lifestyle factors most strongly linked to how long and how well people live.

Body age vs real age

Two people born the same year can age very differently. A 65-year-old who walks daily, sleeps well and stays connected may have the body of someone in their fifties.

The gap between the two numbers is the useful part. Unlike your birth date, your body age can move, and it can move in your favour.

How to lower your biological age

The biggest levers are well known: don't smoke, move every day, build strength twice a week, sleep seven to eight hours, eat mostly plants, keep alcohol low, and know your blood pressure and cholesterol numbers.

Mind matters too. Managing stress, staying socially connected and having a sense of purpose are all linked with longer, healthier lives. Start with one change, not seven.

Can exercise reverse ageing?

Exercise can't change your birth date, but it is the closest thing we have to an anti-ageing treatment. Regular activity is linked to lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, dementia and early death.

Health guidelines suggest about 150 minutes of moderate activity a week plus strength work on two days. It is never too late: people in their seventies and eighties still gain strength and balance when they start training.

How sleep affects ageing

Sleep is when your body repairs itself and your brain clears waste. Most adults need seven to nine hours; older adults generally do best with seven to eight.

Regularly sleeping less than six hours is linked with higher blood pressure, weight gain and poorer memory. A steady bedtime, morning daylight and a cool, dark room all help.

Best foods for longevity

The world's longest-lived communities eat in a similar way: plenty of vegetables, beans and lentils, whole grains, nuts, olive oil and fish, with little processed food or sugar. This is close to the Mediterranean diet.

An easy rule: fill half your plate with vegetables at lunch and dinner, and swap one meat meal a week for beans.

Questions people ask

Is the body age test a medical test?

No. It is an educational estimate based on lifestyle factors linked to longevity research. It does not diagnose anything. Talk to your doctor about your health.

How accurate is a biological age calculator?

Lifestyle calculators give a rough guide, not a lab measurement. They are most useful for spotting which habits matter most for you and tracking change over time.

Is my information stored?

Your answers are scored in your browser. A short history of your results is kept on your own device so you can track progress.

How often should I retake the test?

Every three months is a good rhythm. That gives new habits time to show up in your score.
