Samantha Ruth Prabhu, 36, has revealed that her metabolic age is 23. The actress took to Instagram this morning to share a series of pictures, one of them featuring stats that included her weight, muscle mass, basal metabolic rate and metabolic age, among other things.

Metabolic age is different from chronological age. It is essentially a measure of one’s functional age. Typically, a lower metabolic age indicates a more efficient metabolism, while a higher metabolic age may suggest that your body's metabolism is not performing as well as expected for your age.

Prabhu’s metabolic age is evidently worth boasting about – the actress’s picture shows her pointing to it on a slip of paper. The paper also revealed that she weighs 50 kg and has a muscle mass of 35.9 kg.



Samantha Ruth Prabhu had taken a break from work to focus on her health after she was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition known as myositis. Myositis is essentially a general inflammation of the muscle, caused when the immune system becomes "misdirected" and starts attacking the body's healthy tissue, according to the US-based Myositis Association.

It is a rare disorder that shows up in several forms. Its symptoms include swelling weakness and muscle damage

Prabhu had announced a hiatus in July 2023 to prioritise her health to undergo treatment for her autoimmune condition. Over the last few months, she has shared several updates on social media that give fans a look inside her rigorous exercise routine and health regime.

June 2023 marked a year since she was diagnosed with myositis. At that time, Samantha Ruth Prabhu had shared a long update on her battle with the condition, revealing that she follows a strict diet of no salt, sugar or grains.
