Biological Wellness Penalty

Meaning

The Biological Wellness Penalty is a conceptual metric representing the cumulative negative impact on an individual’s healthspan and physiological reserve resulting from sustained suboptimal lifestyle choices or unaddressed chronic physiological dysfunctions. It quantifies the degree to which an individual’s biological age exceeds their chronological age, reflecting accelerated senescence and increased disease risk. This penalty is a direct consequence of prolonged biological dissonance and metabolic mismanagement over time.
