All methods for assessing the age of man are based on the use of parameters of biological aging. Discrepancies between the biological and actual age make impossible the precise determination of actual age. The extent of expert error depends on the type of aging, the greatest error being observed in hyperergic and the least in asynchronous aging. Expert evaluation of age can be made more precise if the complex of diagnostic parameters be extended; these parameters should be selected strictly in accordance with the specific requirements to assessment of age. Addition of the parameters of aging of the endocrine glands and other organs and tissues appears to hold good promise.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D012016	Reference Values	The range or frequency distribution of a measurement in a population (of organisms, organs or things) that has not been selected for the presence of disease or abnormality.	Normal Range,Normal Values,Reference Ranges,Normal Ranges,Normal Value,Range, Normal,Range, Reference,Ranges, Normal,Ranges, Reference,Reference Range,Reference Value,Value, Normal,Value, Reference,Values, Normal,Values, Reference
D012044	Regression Analysis	Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
