Chronological Age Miscalculation

Meaning

Chronological Age Miscalculation refers to the clinical and biological discrepancy that occurs when an individual’s calendar age does not accurately reflect their true physiological health and functional capacity. This miscalculation highlights the inherent flaw in using birth date alone to assess disease risk, metabolic function, or overall vitality. It is a recognition that lifestyle, genetics, and environment drive a biological age that can be significantly older or younger than the actual number of years lived.
