ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Biological aging is defined as a process or group processes that originate from progressive decrement of viability and increment of vulnerability of the organism with the passage of time. Biological age can be viewed as an objective measure for the assessment of ones biological vigor which is inevitably declined with advancing chronological age. Materials andmethods:
The individuals biological age scores (BAS) were estimated from 5 variables forced expiratory volume in 1.0 sec (FEV1), systolic blood pressure (SBP), blood glucose, albumin, other proteins ratio and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH). The study was composed on study design, based on E. Nakamuras developed method. Using above mentioned parameters was calculated biological age score (BAS), by which were assessed the aging rate of each individual.Results:
We investigated a trend for the rate of aging changes in adults aged above 35. Variables used as a biomarkers of aging are significantly correlated with aging, where the systolic blood pressure was strongest one. Biological age score was calculated for every individual and it has strong correlation with chronological age (r=0.331, p=0.01). The rate at which ageing process relatively faster were 45-55 and 55-66 age intervals for females, against which aging rate of man was slower than women in above mentioned age groups.Conclusion:
Variables used in calculation of BAS had significant cross sectional correlation with age and the aging rate was faster in man than in women in later age groups. In younger and older age groups (35-45 and above 65) individuals of both sexes had similar aging rate.
