Biological Age - DNA(m) Phenoage
AN EPIGENETIC BIOMARKER OF AGING FOR LIFESPAN AND HEALTH
What is DNAm Phenoage biological age?
DNAm Phenoage biological age is determined through a blood test that analyzes specific biomarkers. Recognized as the most precise 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 resulting from the interaction of their genotype with the environment. Your genotype is your genetic fingerprint, while your phenotype is how 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.
"What's wonderful about biological age compared to chronological age is that biological age is modifiable. We don't yet know exactly how to modify it to the fullest extent, but it's possible to slow the clock, even turn it back, based on our behaviors (though they can also accelerate it). The first step is getting a valid and reliable measure of the biological clock."

DNAm PHENOAGE IN DETAIL
- Multisystem aging measure quantifying biological age using observable characteristics in 9 specific biomarkers:
- C-Reactive Protein;
- Albumin;
- Creatinine;
- Glucose;
- Lymphocytes;
- Alkaline Phosphatase;
- Mean Corpuscular Volume;
- Leukocyte Count;
- Red Blood Cell Distribution Width.
- Based on a UCLA study - published in 2018 by Morgan Levine, PhD and her team - using multiple large cohorts;
- This study demonstrated a correlation between biological age (Phenoage) and the risk of mortality - all causes combined;
- It is suggested to repeat this test twice a year to assess the effectiveness of lifestyle changes and longevity actions.

As we age, epigenetic changes accumulate in our bodies. Instead of celebrating yearly birthdays chronologically, our epigenetics produces markers, akin to the rings of a tree, that inscribe our age on our DNA.
