Formula
BMR (Mifflin-St Jeor): Males = 10×weight(kg) + 6.25×height(cm) - 5×age + 5 | Females = 10×weight(kg) + 6.25×height(cm) - 5×age - 161 | TDEE = BMR × Activity factor | Metabolic age estimated by comparing personal BMR to age-group reference BMR values
Frequently Asked Questions
What is metabolic age?
Metabolic age compares your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) to the average BMR of different age groups. If your metabolic age is lower than your actual age, your metabolism is more efficient than average. It is an estimated concept, not a standardized medical test.
How can I lower my metabolic age?
Build muscle mass through strength training (muscle burns more calories at rest), maintain regular cardiovascular exercise, eat a balanced diet with adequate protein, stay hydrated, get 7-9 hours of sleep, and manage stress.
What factors affect metabolic rate?
BMR is influenced by: body composition (muscle vs fat), age, sex, height, weight, hormones (thyroid function), genetics, and physical fitness level. Muscle tissue burns about 3x more calories at rest than fat tissue.
Is metabolic age the same as biological age?
No. Metabolic age focuses specifically on metabolism (calorie burning). Biological age is a broader concept that considers cardiovascular health, cellular aging, fitness, and multiple biomarkers. Both are estimates comparing your health to population averages.
