Abstract:
Biological age (BA) can be used to measure the aging process of individuals and make up for the deficiency that chronological age cannot explain the discrepancy of health status among individuals at same chronological age. In recent years, multiple measurements of BA based on clinical or phenotypic, molecular biological, or compound indicators have emerged. In the paper, we summarize some common measurements of BA and compare their validities.
