Why Do Some People Look Older than Their Age and Others Look Younger than They Really Are?
Is age really just a number?
Chronological Age vs. Biological Age
That is the answer to the question of why some people look younger than their age and others look older than they really are.
How so?
Let’s see…
Aging is, at its simplest description, a biological process, and it happens with anything living whether that be a piece of fruit, a flower, an animal, or a person.
Think about it. What happens to a piece of fruit or flowers when they get old? Their appearance changes drastically from vibrant and supple to the opposite. The fruit rots and decomposes and the flower withers and does the same.
They go through an aging process.
When it comes to people and the aging process, some tend to look older than they are while others of the same age may look considerably younger, due to differences in the acceleration of their biological age relative to their chronological age, as explained in an EBioMedicine article.
Consider the differences.
