It said I was a year and a half older then I am. People generally guess my age at 5 to 10 years younger than I am. ---

Calendar age: 39 (in 2 weeks!) Real Age: 32.7. So I guess my weekend activity and regular exercise actually does help, despite the joint pain it regularly causes. ---

I am…just about exactly 30.5 right now. It says I am 32.1, so that is a difference of about a year and a half. Last time I did this, it was only 6 months over. Hmm. ---

I am 52.3, they calculated 47.8. Imagine if I didn’t smoke! On the plus side I eat really well and do 30 minutes of aerobic exercise 5 times per week. ---

Calendar age: 47.7 “Real age”: 49.4 Probably from the BP meds and smoking so I’m OK with it. ---

Calendar age: 35.8 Real age: 32.3 Not bad. It dinged me because I didn’t know my exact cholesterol numbers (I know they’re OK, but I don’t have them memorized), need to eat more veggies, need to lose a few pounds, don’t always having an airbag (the person I carpool with has an older car), and have some stress from a questionable job situation. It also made a note of the fact that I get migraines, but I don’t know if it made a difference in my real age. It should’ve asked about stress management. No one can avoid having any stress at all, so the important thing is how you deal with it. ---

I’m 32 and it said I was 27. And I admitted to anxiety and a drug problem. ---

Calendar age 26.2, real age 23.6. Take that, all you smokers. _And_ I copped to my history of depression. It didn’t ask me about all my dad’s health problems, though, some of which will surely be visited upon me. ---

According to this I just turned 21 (I’m 22.9). Iv’e never been to this website before and yet it knew my calendar age and my height after I gave it my E-mail. Did it do that to anyone else? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/my-real-age/356676.md?page=2)
