Abstract

The human body has two different ages: a chronological age and a biological age. Chronological age refers to the time a human has been alive, while biological age refers to how old the body seems in terms of functionality. The need to determine biological age viz a viz chronological age is important as it indicates an individual’s present as well as future health status. In fact, it plays a very important role in determining people who might be at risk for age related physical and physiological disorders and can also predict disability in later life. There are numerous techniques presently used to determine the biological age and they all are valid in their own way. The purpose of this review is to recapitulate the different techniques used to determine the biological age.
