Functional Decline Quantification

Meaning

The objective, measurable assessment of the rate and magnitude of deterioration in physiological reserve, physical capacity, and cognitive performance over time, often used as a metric of biological aging. This quantification involves standardized tests and biomarker analysis to move beyond chronological age toward a precise understanding of an individual’s functional health span. It provides a clinical baseline for evaluating the effectiveness of longevity interventions.
