Thats not possible. You need to be 20 in Calendar Age to do the the test.

I know. I said I was 8 months older than I was to make myself 20 just so I could take the test. My actual calendar age is 19.2.

I did have to choose "average" on several of those topics like blood pressure/cholesterol etc, so I'm not too sure about the accuracy of the results. Interesting idea though. I'd be real interested to hear the rationale behind the driving questionaire..

So very close to me!

Calendar Age: 19.9
RealAge: 26.6

I'm calling shenanigans on this. The whole time I was -2.5. All of a sudden I say I drive on average 15 miles over the speed limit and now I'm +8.5. That is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. It's not like I'm speeding myself into the future or some shit.

Same here. I was -2.9 until I put how fast I drive. Jacked me up +6

On top of that, most question were absolutely lame.
NOT USING SEATBELTS MAKES YOU BIOLOGICALLY OLDER!!111!
Others were stupid in more subtle ways.
"EAT A HEALTY BREAKFAST EVERY DAY", it says. Ever heard of the benefits of some controlled fasting? Guess not.
And it seems to think that eating vitamin pills makes you younger. Lame.

Another weird thing. I marked that I have had asthma but even though I outgrew my childhood asthma it was still asking me questions about controlling my asthma.

It's risky behavior. Driving faster than the speed limit or not using a seat belt is taking a risk to your health, just like eating fast food all the time and smoking.

It seemed to really disliked the fact I usually drive 15+ MPH over the limit. Think it gave me 5 years on that at least :(

Calendar age: 20
RealAge: 25.1

Not alike at all.

Factors like diet and smoking affect your health, and can be used to attempt to guess someones "Age" when intended as Present Health and Keeping Yourself Fit.

Dangerous activities don't affect your present health, only your life expectacy.

They turn the questionarie from a healt test to a lenhgt-of-life expectancy one.
And if that was the intented purpose, then its name is inappropiate, cause a lot of people are going to associate Real Age with the concept of How Fit I Am.

EDIT:
On top of that, there are other insignificant questions.
Some debatable recomendations for improvement.
And a number of more significant factors that the test doesn't bother to consider. Not a question about ambient? Air, acoustic, magnetic inquinament? Your level of apprecciation and entuxiasm for some basic daily activities? Time spent alone to relax? How satisfied do you feel from your sleep? Ability to concentrate? And so on.

Pretty good! Don't drink, don't smoke, eat well, exercise, play Nintendo. That just about does the trick.

So is it effectively saying that I've added an extra 6 years to my life in contrast to the average Canadian male? I didn't really read the explanation at the beginning too well.

My eating habits hurt me, but the fact that I've lost 35 lbs. had to help a lot.

BTW: I rigged mine. Once I realized my driving habits somehow affected my realage, I changed it to 4-9MPH. Shit, I should've gone the extra step and just said I do the limit only. Fuckers.
