title: [Possibilities of determining biological age using complex study methods].
abstract: Issuing from the definition of the biological age as a complex functional condition size (functional age) a test battery of clinico-functional, psychological and psychosocial methods is presented with the help of which it is possible to objectify the biological age of man using certain mathematical methods of evaluation. Economic and temporary use, practicability for all age groups, possibility of standardization of the results of measuring as well as methodical criteria of quality (objectify and reliability, slight susceptibility to disturbances) recommend the method as an ambulatorily usable complex screening method which may be helpful for the gerontological practice (aptitude diagnostics adequate to disposition, problems of annuity computation, preventive and therapeutic questions) as well promises scientific abundance.
