Functional Age Measurement

Meaning

Functional Age Measurement is a sophisticated clinical metric that quantifies an individual’s true biological and physiological health status relative to their chronological age. This measurement is derived from an integrated analysis of multiple systemic biomarkers, including cardiorespiratory fitness, cognitive processing speed, metabolic markers, and muscle strength. Functional age provides a more accurate and actionable assessment of an individual’s healthspan and inherent mortality risk than the simple passage of time. The goal of longevity medicine is to maintain a functional age significantly younger than the chronological age.
