Physiological Efficiency Metrics

Meaning

Physiological Efficiency Metrics are a set of quantitative measurements used to evaluate the functional capacity and resource utilization of the body’s major organ systems relative to the energy expended. These metrics move beyond simple resting state values to assess dynamic performance, reflecting the true resilience and reserve capacity of the individual. Examples include metrics of cardiovascular reserve, mitochondrial oxygen consumption rates, and the efficiency of glucose disposal. High efficiency metrics are directly correlated with a lower biological age and enhanced healthspan.
