Age calculation

Definition and age groups

We can define the age of an individual as the time elapsed since his birth. During this time the natural process of growth, maturation and involution of various human qualities and abilities is accomplished. In this regard, the life cycle is divided into various age groups:

Newbornup to 28 days of life
sucklingfrom 4 weeks per year of life

Early childhood:

from 1 to 24 months of life
Second childhoodfrom 2 to 6 years

Third childhood

(childhood, school age)

from 6 years up to the beginning of puberty
Puberty and Adolescencefrom the appearance of sexual characters up to 22 years
Pediatric agefrom 0 to 14 years

Early adulthood22-39 years
Second adult age40-59 years
Third Age60-75 years
Fourth age75-90 years
Fifth age> 90 years
NOTE: the temporal classification of the stages of the human life cycle may vary slightly depending on the sources consulted.

The chronological age does not always coincide with the biological age; a forty-year-old sportsman, for example, can have a biological age of 30 years, vice versa, a thirty-year-old obese and sedentary can have a biological age of 40 years. In the same way a boy can present an anticipated or delayed puberty.
