Age-Independent Performance

Meaning

This refers to the capacity of physiological systems, particularly those governing metabolic rate and functional output, to maintain high levels of efficiency irrespective of chronological age. Clinically, it signifies the optimization of endocrine signaling pathways to resist typical age-related declines in substrate utilization and anabolic signaling. We assess this by examining hormonal profiles against functional benchmarks rather than simple age percentiles. Achieving this state requires balancing catabolic and anabolic drives for sustained homeostasis.
