This paper examines the associations of physical activity with aging in a sample of U.S. males using a newly developed measure of biological age status. The measure is based on a profile of 24 age-related physical parameters. The cross-sectional data used in the study cover 1086 male participants in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of the National Institute on Aging (EXCERPT)
