- Abstract
Our earlier studies have shown more advanced biological age than chronological age in obese women = 40 years of age and particularly with greater visceral obesity. Advancement of age was also seen in women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Both obesity and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome patients are known to be associated with metabolic dysfunction with underlying insulin resistance. Since metabolic syndrome is highly prevalent in Indian population, there is a pressing need for in-depth studies about how advancement of biological age over chronological age impacts health and longevity. In this article, we limit the review to the definition, dimensions, markers and predictors of biological aging.
