Biological Age Testing FAQs

Biological age refers to how well your body is functioning compared to your chronological age. It takes into account various factors like genetics, lifestyle habits (diet, exercise, stress levels), and environmental influences. While chronological age increases steadily, biological age can differ, with some individuals having a "younger" or "older" biological age based on their health and wellness.

Biological age tests are based on scientific methods that measure biomarkers (such as DNA methylation, blood markers, or glycan patterns) that indicate the state of your body’s aging process. While they are generally accurate, the precision can vary depending on the specific test and the individual’s overall health. The results provide valuable insights into your health and aging, but they should be viewed as part of a broader wellness plan.

Biological age testing works by analyzing biomarkers in your body, such as DNA, blood, or specific proteins. These markers reflect your body’s internal health, including inflammation, oxidative stress, and cellular repair capabilities. The test calculates your biological age by comparing these markers to known age-related patterns.

Testing your biological age gives you insights into how your body is aging and identifies areas that could be optimized for better health outcomes. It helps you assess the impact of lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, sleep) and gives you a clearer understanding of your health risks, potentially allowing for earlier interventions to improve longevity and quality of life.

The time it takes to receive your biological age test results depends on the specific test and lab processes. You will be notified when the results are ready, and in some cases, they may be provided online through a secure portal.

You can retest your biological age once every 6 to 12 months, depending on your health goals. This frequency allows enough time to track any significant changes and see the effects of lifestyle adjustments or health interventions. More frequent testing is generally not necessary unless you’re undergoing a specific health treatment or program.

Our biological age tests range from $350 to $500, depending on the specific test and the level of detail provided. Each test offers unique insights into your body's aging process, helping you make informed decisions about your health and wellness.

Preparation depends on the specific test you’re taking. Generally, you may be asked to fast for 8-12 hours before the test, especially for blood-based tests. For certain tests, you may need to avoid intense exercise or alcohol in the 24 hours leading up to the test. Be sure to follow any instructions provided by your test provider for the most accurate results.

Yes, biological age testing is safe. The methods used, such as blood tests or saliva samples, are well-established and pose no significant risks. As with any medical test, make sure to consult with your healthcare provider if you have concerns, particularly if you have any underlying health conditions.

The right biological age test for you depends on your health goals and concerns. Consult with an Extension Health provider to determine the best test based on your individual needs.
