If you need adjusted 18 months date, adjusted 22 months date and chronological age and you already have birth date, current date, full term, gestational age and gestational age, this calculator does the substitution for you. It suits a quick check, a homework answer you want to confirm, or any figure you need to sanity test.
What Is the Adjusted Age Calculator?
The adjusted age calculator gives you an estimate of adjusted 18 months date, adjusted 22 months date and chronological age based on birth date, current date, full term, gestational age and gestational age.
It is a quick reference figure rather than a diagnosis, and it is most useful for tracking how a number moves over time rather than for interpreting a single reading.
How the Adjusted Age Estimate Is Worked Out
The calculation follows published reference relationships, so it is a reasonable approximation when the inputs are accurate. It assumes an average adult and does not account for individual variation.
If you are comparing two people, or the same person over a period of weeks, keep the method and the inputs identical. A change in the method can easily look like a change in the person.
What This Calculator Does Not Do
It does not diagnose anything, and it does not replace advice from a clinician. If a figure comes out at an extreme, or if it differs sharply from what you expect, that is a reason to speak to a professional rather than to adjust the inputs.
Nothing you type here is stored or sent anywhere. The whole calculation happens in your browser.
A Worked Example
Working through an example, with birth date set to 10, current date set to 5, full term set to 2, the calculator returns chronological age of -432,000, and age difference of -168, and adjusted age of 14,083,200. Substitute your own figures and the same steps produce the same kind of answer.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to work out adjusted 18 months date?
Enter birth date, current date, full term, gestational age and gestational age. The calculator then works through the relationship and reports adjusted 18 months date, adjusted 22 months date and chronological age.
What does the adjusted age actually calculate?
It takes birth date, current date, full term, gestational age and gestational age and converts them into adjusted 18 months date, adjusted 22 months date and chronological age using the standard relationship for this problem. Each step is applied in turn, so every output is traceable back to the numbers you typed in.
How should I enter birth date?
Use the value you actually have, in the unit shown next to the field. Enter every value in the same unit system. The calculator assumes the figures you supply are consistent, so it cannot correct a mistake that happens before the calculation starts.
Do I have to fill in every field?
Only the fields a particular result depends on. If you leave one blank, the results that need it simply show a note instead of a number, and everything else still works.
Can I use this for a quick estimate as well as a precise answer?
Yes. The calculator is built for quick checks, so round your inputs to a sensible number of significant figures and the result will be just as useful. If you need more precision, keep the same method and add digits to the inputs rather than adjusting the method itself.
