What is biological age?

Biological age is a measure of how old your body behaves physiologically, and it is different from chronological age, which is based on when you were born. 
 
Biological age can explain why individuals of the same age have profound differences in capabilities, and why some people are healthier than others. 
 
Biological age can be negatively affected by your environment, undesirable dietary habits, lack of proper exercise, physical or mental health issues, and social isolation. 
 
The Blood Age analysis uses blood biomarkers and a research-validated algorithm to provide scores that estimate a person's biological, liver, kidney, lipid, metabolic, and blood ages. 
 
Research indicates that biological age is a better predictor of disease risk than chronological age and is highly associated with all-cause mortality and risk for numerous adverse health conditions like diabetes, cancer, dementia, and organ-specific damage. 

• Biological age can be positively influenced by factors such as genetics, diet, exercise, biomarkers, and sleep.
• Exercise can improve biological age on a cellular level, and different forms of exercise can activate longevity genes, thereby improving healthspan.
• Biological age is a better predictor of physical wellness than chronological age, and it is important for maintaining energy, normal immune function, and healthy heart and circulation.
