Aging Velocity, Biological Age, and Financial Health — General Health Metrics in Styku
Aging Velocity
Aging Velocity estimates the rate at which you are aging compared to someone with an ideal size, shape, and body composition — relative to your chronological age (your actual age today). It estimates whether your biological aging may be faster, slower, or in line with your chronological age.

Note: Scientific references for Aging Velocity calculation are pending and will be added when available.
Does Styku Provide a Biological Age?
No. Styku does not calculate or display a Biological Age. Aging Velocity and Biological Age are related but distinct concepts:
- Aging Velocity = the rate at which you are aging relative to an ideal body composition
- Biological Age = an estimate of the internal age of your body

- Focus on Positive Change: To avoid stress and promote well-being, Styku emphasizes actionable metrics — like waist circumference — that clients
