Biological aging refers to the progressive decline in biological function that occurs at the cellular, tissue, and organismal levels over time. Unlike chronological aging, biological aging varies widely among individuals due to genetics, lifestyle, environmental exposure, and disease burden. It is characterized by reduced regenerative capacity, impaired stress responses, and increased vulnerability to disease. Biological aging involves hallmarks such as telomere shortening, cellular senescence, proteostasis loss, and chronic low-grade inflammation. Measuring biological aging helps predict health outcomes more accurately than age alone and supports personalized approaches to aging interventions. Understanding biological aging is essential for identifying strategies that slow functional decline and extend healthspan.
