Biological Age Analysis
With our Biological Age Analysis, you can discover how old your body truly is based on your cellular health, rather than the years on the calendar.
This advanced assessment evaluates markers like DNA methylation, oxidative stress, inflammation, and metabolic efficiency to determine your biological age—a more accurate reflection of your health and longevity. Armed with these insights, we help you implement strategies to slow aging and enhance your vitality.
Key Benefits for Patients:
Understand Your True Age: See how lifestyle, genetics, and habits affect your biological aging.
Reverse the Effects of Aging: Identify areas for improvement to slow or even reverse biological age.
Personalized Health Strategies: Tailor interventions like diet, exercise, and supplements for optimal aging.
Prevent Age-Related Diseases: Address markers of chronic disease risk before symptoms develop.
Monitor Progress: Track how lifestyle changes impact your biological age over time.
Whether you’re looking to improve longevity, manage chronic conditions, or simply feel younger, Biological Age Analysis provides the insights to help you achieve your goals.
Medical Article Summary
What is Biological Age Analysis?
Biological Age Analysis assesses the rate at which your body is aging at a cellular level. This test goes beyond chronological age by evaluating biomarkers that reflect the health and functionality of your cells, tissues, and organs. It utilizes advanced techniques like epigenetic analysis (DNA methylation patterns), telomere length measurement, and markers of oxidative stress to provide a holistic view of your aging process.
Key Biomarkers Assessed
DNA Methylation
Measures changes in DNA methylation, a key epigenetic marker of aging.
Telomere Length
Evaluates the protective caps on chromosomes, which shorten with age and cellular stress.
Oxidative Stress Markers
Detects levels of free radicals and antioxidant activity, indicators of cellular damage.
Inflammatory Markers
Measures chronic low-grade inflammation, a driver of age-related diseases.
Metabolic Efficiency
Assesses glucose metabolism, lipid profiles, and mitochondrial function.
Scientific Evidence
Research has shown that biological age is a powerful predictor of healthspan and lifespan:
Epigenetic Clocks and Aging
A study in Nature Aging highlights the accuracy of DNA methylation clocks in predicting biological age and their potential to guide anti-aging interventions.
