"Urinary 8-oxoGsn may be a potential biomarker to determine a person's physiologic age and identify individuals at high risk of developing age-associated disease," the authors write.
ESTES PARK, COLO.--A simple walking speed measurement over a 20-foot distance is an invaluable guide to physiologic age as part of individualized decision making about when to stop cancer screening in elderly patients, according to Jeff Wallace, MD, professor of geriatric medicine at the University of Colorado at Denver.
She adds that this study also highlights the difference between chronologic and physiologic age. For example, a healthy 80-year-old should be treated to a goal of under 140/90, while a frail 65-year-old, for example, with multiple medical conditions, will require more frequent BP monitoring and may be treated to a higher BP.
Physiologic age is the age we can do something about.

Another 2006 article also emphasizes physiologic age coupled with the need for informed patient decision-making.
"We have to look at physiologic age as well as chronologic age," Dr.
The physician must also understand the difference between disease and aging, and know how to evaluate physiologic age.
"I think the bottom line here is, we have to look at physiologic age as well as chronologic age," Dr.
Many of these offenders age 55 and older have physiologic ages that are at least 10 years older than their chronologic ages, which has placed tremendous pressure on correctional health care budgets.
