If you know when you are born, chances are aware of your chronological age. But what about your biological age?

WHEREAS your chronological age refers to the number of times you have been alive on this planet, your biological age refers to the age of your body (for example, the chronological age of Jane Fonda is 80 years old,But we would be willing to bet that his biological age is closer to 45)

Although tests exist to measure your biological age, most of them are fascinating but not very scientific, because they involve questions about your IMC, the number of wrinkles and gray hair that you have, that you can balance on One foot and other simple age indicators.

But now a revolutionary study published inFrontiers to aging neuroscience Claims There may be a means of measuring its biological age through a simple test.

Researchers collected urine samples of 1,228 healthy Chinese residents (613 men and 615 women) aged 2 to 90 years and found that two urinary-8-oxodgsn and 8-oxogsn molecules - were able to "Reflect the oxidative state of the body assembly rather than a specific organ," thus making these molecules "promising aging biomarkers".

"A simple, fast, sensitive and reliable methodology for the analysis of 8-oxogsn and 8-oxodgsn urinary excretion has been developed,"study declared. "On the basis of this extensive population study, we concluded that 8-oxogsn in the urine can be a new way to assess the adult aging process."

One of the reasons why this step is so great, it is because it opens the way to more research on how to slow the effects of aging. This also gives us a clear method, for the first time, to measure the rate at which our bodies deteriorate. "The urinary 8-oxogsn can better reflect the real state of our body better than our chronological age and can help us predict the risk of age-related diseases," Jian-ping Cai, researcher involved in the study ,says in a press release.
