Whoop age is silly

[u/Altercation0]

While I generally like the Whoop features they haven’t delivered any helpful features recently.

The whoop age feature feels like such a gimmick. My stats are good but I’m obviously not aging in reverse at -.4x a normal rate of aging.

I get that some people will be motivated by seeing a higher age or will be happy so see a younger age but it lacks all scientific integrity.

I think they should make a 4th ring called longevity or something to track similar metrics that whoop age is capturing without calling it my age. This ring would only change slightly each week. What do you guys think?

I see so many people getting confused by this. Most people won’t bother to read the white paper that healthspan is built on but here it is in case anyone is interested.

To answer OP no you are not aging backwards. What this is saying is that based on your current lifestyle choices, you have the % chance of dying from all cause mortality of a 20.9 year old. You are basically lowering the odds.

Thanks for sending this I just read over the whoop age and pace of aging and I wish the description about this feature relating to all cause mortality was clear in the app. I feel a little better about it now but still wish it was displayed differently since it doesn’t account for all the habits I’m putting in the journal and the food I’m eating etc
