Biological Age Test

"How do we define a person’s actual age? We certainly shouldn’t rely exclusively on birth certificates, as they don’t always tell the whole truth."

part of the book „The Codes of Youth” by D. Marek Bardadyn

If you want to find out what your chances of staying young are, answer a few simple questions, which will test how you cope with the basic activities decisive for your biological age.
