Assessment of biological age by multiple regression analysis

Abstract

In order to generate a reference value of aging, estimation of chronological age of healthy subjects was made by multiple regression analysis. It was shown that the estimated ages of hypertensive subjects by the formula used were significantly higher than their chronological ages. It was further observed that parameters representing various ability of movements might yield an alternative regression formula and that the accuracy in age estimation was improved with application of a second-order regression formula.
