What Is Metabolic Age?
Metabolic age compares your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) to the average BMR for different age groups. If your metabolic age is lower than your actual age, your metabolism is faster than average. The Mifflin-St Jeor equation is used: For men: BMR = 10 x weight(kg) + 6.25 x height(cm) - 5 x age - 5. For women: BMR = 10 x weight(kg) + 6.25 x height(cm) - 5 x age - 161.
