The present invention is a method for analyzing the biological age of a subject. The method analyzes the biological age as it relates to a number of factors indicating levels of health, energy production and metabolism. The method may also be used to calculate a subject's biological age and treat the factors associated with biological age.

What is claimed is: 1. A method for analyzing the biological age of a subject comprising: obtaining age, body fat percentage, weight and sex information from a subject; measuring the subject's average oxygen consumption when the subject is at rest; measuring the subject's average respiratory exchan
What is claimed is: 1. A method for analyzing the biological age of a subject comprising: obtaining age, body fat percentage, weight and sex information from a subject; measuring the subject's average oxygen consumption when the subject is at rest; measuring the subject's average respiratory exchange ratio when the subject is at rest; measuring the subject's average oxygen consumption when the subject's respiratory exchange rate is about 0.85; measuring the subject's average oxygen consumption when the subject's respiratory exchange rate is about 1.00; measuring the subject's average work produced wben the subject's respiratory exchange ratio is about 1.00; and calculating the subject's biological age as a function of the subject's average oxygen consumption at rest, the subject's average respiratory exchange ratio when the subject is at rest the subject's average oxygen consumption when the subject's respiratory exchange rate is about 0.85, the subject's average oxygen consumption when the subject's respiratory exchange rate is about 1.00, and the subject's average work produced when the subject's respiratory exchange ratio is about 1.00; wherein the calculation is dependent on the sex of the subject. 2. The method of claim 1 further comprising, prescribing a program of nutrition and exercise to treat the biological age of the subject. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the calculation quantities the biological age as a number. 4. The method of claim 3 further comprising, prescribing a program of nutrition and exercise to decrease the biological age of the subject. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the age of the subject is defined as an age in years. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the age in years of a subject over a predetermined age is a default age and the age in years of a subject under the predetermined age is the subject's actual age. 7. A method for analyzing the biological age of a subject comprising: obtaining age, body fat percentage, weight and sex information from a subject; measuring the subject's average Oxygen consumption when the subject is at rest; measuring the subject's average respiratory exchange ratio when the subject is at rest; measuring the subject's average oxygen consumption when the subject's respiratory exchange rate is about 0.85; measuring the subject's average oxygen consumption when the subject's respiratory exchange rate is about 1.00; measuring the subject's average work produced when the subject's respiratory exchange ratio is about 1.00; analyzing the subject's energy quotient, metabolic rate, resting fat metabolism, exertional fat metabolism and fitness value; and calculating the subject's biological age as a function of the subject's energy quotient, metabolic rate, resting fat metabolism, exertional fat metabolism and fitness value. 8. The method of claim 7 further comprising, prescribing a program of nutrition and exercise to treat the biological age of the subject. 9. The method of claim 7, wherein the biological age of the subject is quantified as a number. 10. The method of claim 9 further comprising, prescribing a program of nutrition and exercise to decrease the biological age of the subject. 11. The method of claim 7, wherein analyzing the subject's energy quotient comprises; calculating the subject's predicted maximum oxygen consumption based on the subject's sex, body fat percentage, weight and age in years; wherein the age in years of a subject over a predetermined age is a default age and the age in years of a subject under the predetermined age is the subject's actual age; and dividing the subject's average oxygen consumption when the subject's respiratory exchange rate is about 1.00 by the subject's predicted maximum oxygen consumption to obtain an energy quotient for the subject. 12. The method of claim 7, wherein analyzing the subject's metabolic rate comprises: calculating the subject's predicted basal metabolic rate based on the subject's sex, body fat percentage, weight and age in years; wherein the age in years of a subject over a predetermined age is a default age and the age in years of a subject under the predetermined age is the subject's actual age; and dividing the subject's average resting oxygen consumption by the subject's predicted basal metabolic rate to obtain a metabolic rate value for the subject. 13. The method of claim 7, wherein analyzing the subject's exertional fat metabolism comprises: calculating the subject's predicted maximum oxygen consumption based on the subject's sex, body fat percentage, weight and age in years; wherein the age in years of a subject over a predetermined age is a default age and the age in years of a subject under the predetermined age is the subject's actual age; and dividing the subject's average oxygen consumption when the subject's respiratory exchange rate is about 0.85by the subject's predicted maximum oxygen consumption to obtain the exertional fat metabolism for the subject. 14. The method of claim 7, wherein analyzing the subject's fitness value comprises: calculating the subject's predicted maximum oxygen consumption based on the subject's sex, body fat percentage, weight and age in years; wherein the age in years of a subject over a predetermined age is a default age and the age in years of a subject under the predetermined age is the subject's actual age; calculating the subject's predicted maximum work produced as a functional of the subject's predicted maximum average oxygen consumption; and dividing the subject's average work produced when the subject's exertional respiratory exchange ratio is about 1.00 by the subject's predicted maximum work produced to obtain a fitness value for the subject. 15. A method for analyzing the biological age of a subject comprising: obtaining age, body fat percentage, weight and sex information from a subject; measuring the subject's average work produced when the subject's exertional respiratory exchange ratio is about 1.00; calculating the subject's predicted maximum oxygen consumption based on the subject's sex, body fat percentage, weight and age in years; wherein the age in years of a subject over a predetermined age is a default age and the age in years of a subject under the predetermined age is the subject's actual age; calculating the subject's predicted maximum work produced as a function of the subject's predicted maximum oxygen consumption; dividing the subject's average work produced when the subject's exertional respiratory exchange ratio is about 1.00 by the subject's predicted maximum work produced to obtain a fitnesses value for the subject; and comparing the subject's fitness value to a target fitness value range fox the subject's appropriate age group. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the predetermined age is equal to the default age 17. The method of claim 15, wherein a fitness value greater than the fitness value range for the subject's appropriate age group indicates decreased biological age. 18. The method of claim 15, wherein a fitness value lower than the fitness value range for the subject's appropriate age group indicates increased biological age. 19. The method of claim 15, wherein a fitness value equal to or higher than the target fitness value range indicates optimal strength and fitness. 20. The method of claim 15, wherein a fitness value lower than the target fitness value range indicates decreased strength and fitness. 21. The method of claim 15, wherein a fitness value significantly lower than the target fitness value range indicates decreased muscle mass. 22. The method of claim 21 further comprising, treating decreased strength and fitness by prescribing nutritional supplementation and an exercise regimen. 23. The method of claim 22, wherein the exercise regimen further comprises weight resistance training.
