Question

Ramada, 69, an avid golfer and fitness enthusiast, recently got a comprehensive health exam done, and her physician remarked that her vital organs were in such good shape that her _____ age was about 10 years less than her chronological age.

Answer 1

Answer:

c. biological

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. The options given for this question are:

A) social

B) mental

C) biological

D) psychological

The term biological age is used to make reference to how old our cells really are. Biological age varies depending on the lifestyle the person has (their diet, the amount of sleep they get, the stress in their life, the amount of exercise they do). We can have some particular chronological age that we cannot change (since it is counted since the day we were born until today) but our daily habits can influence and change our biological age.

In this example Ramada is 69 years old and is a fitness enthusiast, her physician remarked that her vital organs are in very good shape. Therefore, we can conclude that her physician is making reference to her biological age since it has to do with the state of her cells and organs, and therefore the physician must have said that her biological age was about 10 years less than her chronological age.

Note: Social, mental and psychological age have to do with more social factors or mind factors rather than with vital organs and therefore these options cannot be the correct answers.
