About
In a previous study the investigators have developed a novel biological age model. Assessing biological age is the assessment of the present health status and functional capacity/physiological reserve of that person in comparison with people of the same age and sex.
The aim of this study is to investigate the utility and validity of this novel biological age model designed for health promotion in real world conditions.
