Your RealAge is the biological age of your body, based on how well you’ve maintained it. How old are you really? Take RealAge Test and see how you can live better, healthier, and younger!

If you smoke, drink, have a stressful job, juggle a career and family, eat on the run, and never exercise, you will probably fail the RealAge Test. The RealAge Test is the creation of Dr. Michael Roizen, an anti-aging expert. After his visit on the “Oprah” show, where he explained RealAge assessment, interests heightened. Now, the test is available online for free for those who dare to learn their biological age.

Identification

The RealAge Test is a patented assessment that determines your biological age based on your answers to a series of questions. Your biological age is your physiologic age based on your daily habits, diet and family history (genetics). It may be higher or lower than your chronological, or birth, age.

Features

The test is available at the RealAge.com web site. Before taking the test, know your blood pressure, your resting heart rate and your cholesterol levels, both good and bad. Make a list of all the medicines you take and note your family medical history. The test has questions about your health, your family and lifestyle questions such as what kind of car you drive and what you eat.

Time Frame

The test takes about 15 minutes to complete, if you have all the information available for the questions. It’s important to be accurate with your answers, but don’t dwell on your responses. Once you have completed the test, it takes about an hour to get the results by e-mail.

Significance

Getting the results is only the beginning of the RealAge test’s purpose. The e-mail will direct you back to the web site, where you will review your results. The web site will provide personal recommendations, which are beneficial, if you wish to take the test again or want to live a healthier life. Follow their suggestions and you can lower your biological age.

Prevention/Solution

According to the RealAge web site, the test is accepted in the medical and science fields. Experts reviewed more than 25,000 medical studies while developing the test. The suggestions you receive are substantial. For further study, consider Dr. Michael Roizen’s book “RealAge: Are You as Young as You Can Be?” Another book is “The RealAge Diet: Make Yourself Younger With What You Eat.”
