Lucky you Mumsy I am a 54 year old with the body age of 57 !

Mind you not sure how being an optimist or a pessimist effects your BODY age? Mental age maybe?

Likewise how does having support or not, effect your body age?

I am quite slim, not overweight (or under tall) I eat healthy and have never smoked.

If you've smoked for more than a couple of years they seem to bump your body age up by at least 20 years!
