Discuss the difference between physiological and chronological age and the factors that affect the aging process
Chronological age is calendar age. Physiological age is the biological and functional capacity of the body as it should be in relation to the person's maximal potential at any given age in the lifespan. Functional capacity is the ability to perform the ordinary and unusual demands of daily living without limitations and excessive fatigue or injury.
The rate at which aging changes take place depends on a combination of genetic and lifestyle factors, which will determine to a great extent how your genes will affect your aging process.
