Understanding the Calculation
Metabolic Age = f(BMR, actual age, gender)
Based on population BMR averages by age and gender
This calculator compares your actual BMR to the expected average BMR for your age and gender. If your BMR is higher than average for your age, your metabolic age will be younger than your actual age. If your BMR is lower, your metabolic age will be older.
Key Features
