Chronological Age Disparity

Meaning

Chronological Age Disparity describes the measurable difference between an individual’s calendar age and their assessed biological age, often quantified through functional biomarker panels. A significant positive disparity indicates accelerated physiological aging, suggesting systemic inefficiencies or accumulated cellular damage. Conversely, a negative disparity suggests superior physiological resilience compared to peers of the same age. Identifying this gap is critical for risk stratification in hormonal health assessment. It provides a tangible target for preventative intervention.
