Express Estimation of the Biological Age by the Parameters of Body Composition in Men and Women over 50 Years

Resumo

Original formulas for rapid assessment of biological age in men and women over 50 were developed using factor analysis. The proposed technique is mainly based on the parameters of the body component composition (fat, musculoskeletal, and active cell mass, and specific metabolism) obtained using bioimpedance recording widely used in modern medicine and anthropology. The proposed formulas were tested on other samples (481 examined subjects). The developed method of express estimation of biological age differs from other models by its convenience, simplicity, low financial and time costs, and the possibility of using it in mass medico-anthropological examinations for identification of individuals/groups with accelerated rates of aging.
