Biological Age Calculator (Simple Estimate)
Adjusts your chronological age using sleep hours, weekly exercise and cigarettes per day for a rough biological age. Educational, not a clinical test.

Simplified biological age
Biological age is an attempt to say how old your body acts, as opposed to what the calendar says. The quick, practical versions take your chronological age and nudge it around based on how you live. Smoking adds +3 to +7 years if you smoke and takes off −3 if you never did; regular exercise shaves off −2 to −5 years; a BMI outside the 18.5-25 range costs you a penalty, as does sleep under 6 h or over 9 h, and diet quality factors in too. Take a 35-year-old as an example: non-smoker (−3), 3 h/week of exercise (−2), 7 h of sleep (0), and you land at a biological age of roughly 30. Treat that as a learning aid, nothing more. The serious tools are a different story. There is Phenotypic Age (Levine 2018, built on 9 clinical biomarkers: albumin, creatinine, glucose, CRP, lymphocyte %, MCV, RDW, alkaline phosphatase, white blood cells), the Horvath epigenetic clock (2013, based on DNA methylation and considered the research gold standard), and Klemera-Doubal, a statistical method that pulls from several biomarkers at once.
Applications: prevention and longevity
You see this in preventive medicine and geriatrics, and in the fast-growing world of longevity science that David Sinclair and Peter Attia helped bring to a wider audience. A simplified estimate hands a patient an easy-to-grasp sense of how their habits are adding up over time. The clinical biomarker panels (PhenoAge, GrimAge, DunedinPACE) show up in aging trials and in high-end concierge medicine. It is a good way to open a conversation about changing behavior, but nobody should mistake it for a clinical diagnosis.
FAQ
Is the simplified score accurate? No. It is there to teach a concept. Getting a real biological age means running biomarker or methylation panels.
Which is the research gold standard? The Horvath/Hannum DNA methylation clocks, along with the newer second-generation ones like GrimAge and DunedinPACE.
Can biological age go down? Yes. Published studies have shown that changes like quitting smoking, exercising, sleeping better and eating well can pull epigenetic age markers down over a span of months to years.
Should I trust commercial DNA age tests? Their validity is all over the map. Go for the ones built on peer-reviewed clocks (Horvath, GrimAge, DunedinPACE) and steer clear of proprietary formulas that have never been validated.

Effective Half-Life
Compute the effective half-life of a radionuclide in the body, 1/Teff = 1/Tbio + 1/Tphys, combining the physical half-life (radioactive decay) with the biological one (elimination by the organism). Since both processes reduce the amount simultaneously, the effective half-life is always shorter than either. It is essential in internal dosimetry in nuclear medicine and radiation protection. Enter the biological and physical half-lives.

Peak Shear Stress in a Bonded Lap Joint (Volkersen)
Computes the peak shear stress in the adhesive layer of a single lap joint using the Volkersen model, which treats the adherends as elastic membranes in tension and the adhesive in pure shear: τ_max = τ_avg·(λ/2)·coth(λ/2), with τ_avg = F/(b·L) and λ = L·√(2·G_a/(E·t·t_a)). Because the adherends stretch unevenly along the overlap, the adhesive does not work uniformly: load piles up at both ends while the middle stays almost unloaded, so the peak stress can be several times the average — 3.35 times in the default example. Hence the model most useful and counter-intuitive conclusion: lengthening the overlap pays less and less, because the extra length carries no load; doubling L from 25 to 50 mm halves the AVERAGE stress but cuts the PEAK stress by only 0.25 %, and it is the peak that breaks the joint. The model assumes a balanced joint, with both adherends of the same material and thickness — that is where the 2 inside the root comes from — and since adherend and adhesive thickness enter only as a product, thickening the adherend buys exactly what thickening the glue line does. Far more is gained by thickening the adhesive or choosing a less rigid one, which is what lowers λ. Enter the load, the overlap width and length, the adherend thickness and modulus, and the adhesive thickness and shear modulus.
