Study shows biological link between muscle weakness and acceleration in biological age

Everyone ages at a different pace. That's why two 50-year-olds, despite living the same number of years, may have different biological ages – meaning that a host of intrinsic and extrinsic factors have caused them to age at varying paces with different levels of risk for disease and early death.
