How to measure your biological age
Last updated at 09:40 25 October 2004
Take these three quick tests for a light-hearted look at how old you really are...
Test one:
Bend your right leg at a 90 degree angle and put your hands on your hips. Close your eyes. Time how long you can keep your balance. Repeat three times and use your best score.
70+ secs: Age 20
60-70 secs: Age 30
50-60 secs: Age 40
40-50 secs: Age 50
30-40 secs: Age 60
20-30 secs: Age 70
Less than 20 secs: Age 80
Test two
Place the end of the ruler on your cheekbone below your eye. Put a business card on the rule with the text facing you and slide it towards your eye until the words begin to blur. Measure the distance at which the card can be easily read.
0-9cm: Age 20
9-16cam: Age 30
16-30cm: Age 40
30-60cm: Age 50
60-90cm: Age 60
90+cm: Age 70
Test three
Look closely at your eyeball in a mirror. Is there a white arc around the edge of your cornea, the transparent outer shell of the eye? The longer the arc, the higher your cholesterol level. An unbroken line is normal in someone aged around 80. The more complete the line, the older your biological age.
