"Age is a question of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter."Said Leroy "Satchel" Paige. When someone ask for your age, then you can actually answer them with your official age(putative age), chronological age, Chinese age or even biological age.
Official age is the age recorded or documented in the birth certificate. But it must not be the real age of a person, since in the olden day some parents may not be able to register their childs as soon as they were born, especially those living in rural area and were isolated from big city in which the registration department located. So another term known as chronological age is used. Chronological age is the age counted from the day in which the baby was first born. For some Chinese they are actually using their own system -the Chinese age. This is because we Chinese take into account the time the baby is gestating in mother's womb.
There is another type of age I introducing here, the biological age. Perhaps this is the most important age of all when it comes to medical treatment, especially surgery and cancerous treatment. Our biological age can tell us how fit and healthy we are ,and how nice our bodies' organs can function, without considering how long ago we were born. This biological age can actually be measured and estimated by biological age analyser //machine.
So next time if some one ask you how old are you, do remember to reinsure which age they are referring to. And if someone say that your biological age looked younger than your actual age ,they simply mean you are young and healthy, and don't forget to thanks them for their compliments. Take care of your body since young to delay the progress of your biological age!
