have You ever obmanyvala people about your age? If you are over 35, then most likely you will answer "Yes." And, most likely, you specify the age of their younger years.

Talking about our psychological age, his criticism reflects a deep psychological truth. With age we often don't feel as old as our age specified in the passport.

"Subjective age" is a term that can vary over time. It is different from biological or chronological age, which is always linked with our date of birth. Middle-aged and elderly regularly report feeling that they feel 10-20 years younger than your biological age. The discrepancy between subjective and biological age usually increases throughout life.

the Desire to be younger is a sign of health, and speaks of lower mortality, it makes people feel positive expectations and suggests better intellectual abilities. Thus, feeling young means "to be better".

As a rule, subjective age is when I ask people how old they are. In recent groundbreaking work, published in the "Journals of gerontology", Kornadt and his colleagues tested the MDX formula of subjective age. That is, they determined that subjective age is not one but many components. They examined subjective age in seven areas of life, namely family, relationships with friends, social relations, leisure, personality, finances, work and health. The results confirmed their hypothesis that subjective age varies in different areas of life.

Subjective age is most different from the biological age in those aspects of life that have the biggest number of negative stereotypes. For example, in Western society we tend to think that older people are less competent than young people. In the workplace psychological age had a large gap with biological age.

But in the field of leisure psychological and biological age was pretty close.

Thus, the answer to the question: "how many years are we feeling?" can be partially defined by stereotypes and the backlash of society. And maybe through any number of years can be considered a psychological age is a more important indicator of the overall physical and mental health than biological age.
