How is Metabolic Age Calculated?
Metabolic age reveals how your basal metabolic rate (BMR) compares to others in your age group. Our calculator uses advanced algorithms to assess your metabolic health, helping you understand energy expenditure, fitness levels, and overall wellness. By comparing your BMR to population averages, we provide insights that can guide nutrition plans and exercise routines for better health outcomes.
Metabolic Age Calculator
Metabolic Age Formula
The calculation uses Harris-Benedict equation for BMR:
Men: BMR = 88.362 + (13.397 × weight in kg) + (4.799 × height in cm) - (5.677 × age)
Women: BMR = 447.593 + (9.247 × weight in kg) + (3.098 × height in cm) - (4.330 × age)
Calculation Process
| Step | Process | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Input Data | Collect age, gender, weight, height, body fat |
| 2 | Calculate BMR | Use Harris-Benedict equation |
| 3 | Compare to Average | Match BMR to age group averages |
| 4 | Determine Metabolic Age | Find matching age group for your BMR |
