Question

Grace goes to the doctor. The doctor tells Grace that while her chronological age is 24, her physiological age is 30. What factors could account for this discrepancy?

Answer 1

Many factors could explain this discrepancy. Physiological age is determined by things like mental health, diet, genetics, environment, etc.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example if someone has undergone a lot of trauma and suffers with mental health issues, has a poor diet and consumes a lot of alcohol, their physiological age would probably be much older than their chronological age

Answer 2

Grace could have mental health issues from past trauma, she could have a bad diet filled with sugar or be in a caloric surplus causing her to become overweight, she could be fatigued from lack of sleep, she could be a smoker, she could be lazy and not participate in exercise, she could have diseases that are inherited from her parents or she could have too much or too little sun exposure. There are countless influences to quicker biological ageing that chronological.
