The science
What is biological age?
Research suggests that biological age is a prediction of how fast your body is ageing. It could be a more accurate way to measure ageing compared to actual, chronological age.
What is it used for?
A younger biological age could be a good sign of healthy habits. An older biological age could highlight areas to improve your health and to help prevent future problems.
How is it calculated?
The way H&B&Me calculates biological age is based on over 400 million person-years of clinical data. It takes into account your age and gender and compares you with others.

I've spent my career working in nutrition and health tech. I'm passionate about helping people take the lead in their health and wellbeing journeys.
