Biological Age - DNA(m) Phenoage
AN EPIGENETIC BIOMARKER OF AGING FOR LIFESPAN AND HEALTH
What is DNAm Phenoage biological age?
DNAm Phenoage's biological age is determined by a blood test that analyzes specific biomarkers. Recognized as the most accurate measure of your biological age, this revolutionary test is now considered an epigenetic biomarker of aging for lifespan and health.
Phenotypic biological age - also known as DNAm Phenoage - is defined as a set of observable characteristics of an individual that results from the interaction of his or her genotype with the environment. Your genotype is therefore your genetic fingerprint, while your phenotype is the way your genes express themselves in response to lifestyle and environmental influences.
In short, your DNAm Phenoage biological age indicates whether you are aging faster or slower than your chronological age.
"The wonderful thing about chronological age is that biological age is changeable. We don't yet know exactly how to change it as much as possible, but it is possible to make the clock slow down or even go backwards, depending on our behaviors (although they can also speed it up). The first step is to get a valid and reliable measure of the biological clock."

DNAm PHENOAGE IN DETAILS
- Multisystem aging measure quantifying biological age using observable characteristics in 9 specific biomarkers:
- C-Reactive Protein;
- Albumin;
- Creatinine;
- Glucose;
- Lymphocytes;
- Alkaline phosphatase;
- Average corpuscular volume;
- Leukocyte count;
- Distribution width of red blood cells.
- Based on a UCLA study - published in 2018 by Morgan Levine, PhD and team - using multiple large cohorts;
- This study demonstrated a correlation between biological age (Phenoage) and the risk of all-cause mortality;
- It is suggested that this test be repeated twice a year in order to evaluate the effectiveness of lifestyle changes and actions taken with respect to longevity.

As we age, epigenetic changes accumulate in our bodies. Instead of celebrating annual birthdays chronologically, our epigenetics produce markers, like rings on a tree, that inscribe our age on our DNA.
