This innovative test is based on extensive research and utilises a formula developed by leading scientists to convert nine blood biomarker levels into a biological age score. Each biomarker represents different physiological systems, such as inflammation, metabolism, and organ function, giving a holistic view of your overall health and aging.
Once your blood sample is analysed, you'll receive a report with your PhenoAge score. This score reflects your biological age compared to your chronological age. If your biological age is higher than your chronological age, it may indicate accelerated aging, suggesting the need for lifestyle changes or further health assessments. Conversely, a lower biological age suggests that your body is aging more slowly than expected, which is a positive indicator of your health.
Understanding your biological age can be a powerful tool in managing your health. It provides insights into how your body is functioning and aging, which can help you make informed decisions about your lifestyle and healthcare. By understanding your biological age, you can:
• Identify potential health risks early • Tailor lifestyle and dietary choices to promote healthier aging • Monitor the effectiveness of health interventions and lifestyle changes • Improve your overall well-being and longevity
What we test
Biological Age - PhenoAge
The PhenoAge Blood Biomarker Test provides a comprehensive assessment of your biological age using a set of nine key blood biomarkers.
Ageing, whilst a natural process, is the accumulation of damage in your body over time, caused by a long term over-activation of the immune system.
Biological Age - PhenoAge (bloods)
The PhenoAge Blood Biomarker Test provides an assessment of your biological age using a set of nine key blood biomarkers.
Albumin is a protein which keeps fluid from leaking out of blood vessels, nourishes tissues, and carries hormones, vitamins, drugs, and ions like calcium throughout the body. Albumin is made in the liver and is sensitive to liver damage.
A waste molecule generated from muscle metabolism, and an accurate marker of kidney function.
If you have diabetes your body doesn't process glucose effectively.
A high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) test measures low levels of CRP and may be used to help evaluate an individual for risk of cardiovascular disease.
A type of white blood cell. Can increase with bacterial or viral infection, leukaemia, lymphoma, radiation therapy or acute illness. Decreased lymphocyte levels are common in later life but can also indicate steroid medication, stress, lupus and HIV infection.
Mean corpuscular volume (MCV) is a measure of the average size of the RBCs. The MCV is elevated when RBCs are larger than normal, eg in anaemia caused by vitamin B12 deficiency. When MCV is decreased, RBCs are smaller than normal as seen in iron deficiency anaemia.
Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a calculation of the variation in the size of your RBCs. In some anaemias, such as pernicious anaemia (due to vitamin B12 deficiency), the amount of variation in RBC size causes an increase in the RDW.
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme located mainly in the liver and the bones. High levels can indicate liver disease.
Responsible for fighting infection. A high count can indicate recent infection and even stress, whilst a low count can result from vitamin deficiencies, liver disease and immune diseases.
