How old are you? Odds are your answer is a number of years — a metric known as your “chronological age.“ Although this number isn’t meaningless, it fails to capture the full picture of aging. Your “biological age“ may be a far more useful metric. This is the degree to which your biology has changed over a given period of time.
“Aging is starting at a molecular level, and over time this is going to give rise to all the functional changes and manifestations that we tend to see with aging,” says Dr. Morgan Levine, author of the book True Age. Unlike chronological age, your biological age is malleable: Scientists know that it’s possible to slow biological aging by maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
But is it possible to actually reverse the aging process? See what Dr. Levine has to say about the potential of anti-aging research in this Big Think interview.
