While subjective age reflects our internal
perception of age, chronological age remains a crucial factor in understanding
Aging from a biological perspective.

Biological aging encompasses the natural
physiological changes that occur in our bodies over time. Factors such as
genetics, cellular processes, and environmental influences contribute to this
complex process. Understanding chronological age helps assess health risks,
design appropriate interventions, and provide medical care tailored to the
specific needs of different age groups.

Chronological age is crucial when
considering biological aging. It encompasses the natural physiological changes
that occur in the body over time. While subjective age may not always align
with biological aging, understanding chronological age helps in assessing
health risks, designing interventions, and providing appropriate medical care.

Chronological age is also important in
determining developmental milestones. It provides a framework for understanding
physical, cognitive, and psychological changes that occur with age. From
infancy to old age, each stage of life is associated with unique milestones and
challenges. Our understanding of a person’s Chronological age serves as a guide
in understanding and supporting individuals through these different phases of
development.
