Most people know their age in years, but ask them how many days old they are and they will almost always pause. The number is surprisingly useful: pediatricians track infant growth in days, researchers measure study eligibility in day counts, and parents love marking the 1,000-day milestone. Here is how to get your exact age in days and why it matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
