At Elixa Longevity, we believe knowing your healthspan and potential lifespan can empower you to make informed, proactive choices about your health and wellness. But you might wonder: just how accurate are longevity assessments, and what kind of insights can they provide?
Understanding Longevity Assessments and Biological Age Tests
Firstly, it’s helpful to distinguish between longevity assessments and biological age tests. Longevity assessments aim to estimate your potential lifespan by considering multiple factors, including genetics, lifestyle, and medical history. Biological age tests, on the other hand, specifically measure how rapidly your body is ageing compared to your chronological age—the actual number of years you’ve lived. While they’re not the same, biological age testing is typically a critical component of a thorough longevity assessment.
Are Biological Age Tests Accurate?
Absolutely! Biological age tests are backed by extensive scientific validation. They assess factors such as genetic markers, lifestyle choices, and physical biomarkers, giving a precise measure of your body’s true ageing rate. Unlike chronological age, which simply counts the years, biological age tests reveal vital details about your body’s current state and potential health risks. This explains why two people of the same chronological age can have significantly different biological ages.
While biological age tests provide accurate insights into your current health status and ageing rate, it’s important to recognise they don’t predict your exact lifespan. Instead, they are incredibly useful for identifying potential health risks associated with ageing, enabling you to take proactive steps towards managing these risks effectively.
Do Longevity Tests Really Work?
When used appropriately, longevity tests genuinely deliver valuable insights. These assessments aren’t designed to predict the exact number of years you’ll live; rather, they guide informed health decisions that maximise your lifespan and healthspan—the quality and vitality of your additional years.
