Pros: RealAge.com provides individualized information based on user input. Very comprehensive interface incorporates health, habits, relationships and more.
Cons: RealAge test is lengthy and requires information regarding test results that users may not have on hand. Indicating that the user does not have the values raises the “real age.”
The Bottomline: RealAge offers information based on large amounts of input from users. The “real age” calculation requires users to have very thorough information regarding all lab values and deducts points for health issues even if they are under control. This may be off-putting to those looking for simple informative resources.
