A biological age test helps to determine your biological age by measuring chronic inflammation in your system, which is directly related to your lifestyle. Biological age is essentially your internal age, based on factors such as DNA and your lifestyle. Chronological age is simply the number of years you have been alive.
In recent years there has been increasing evidence that inflammation can cause, or be associated with higher rates of chronic illness. Inflammation affects ageing as a whole and so by determining biological age through measuring inflammation there is the possibility to predict chances of developing certain health conditions. Whilst it’s impossible for us to decrease our chronological age we can actually reverse our biological age by making positive changes to our lifestyles.

Patients can complete this quick and easy finger prick test to determine their biological age, and help to understand how healthy they are on the inside. Depending on your results, your doctor may suggest a course of action to help decrease your biological age if it is higher than your chronological age. This can include supplements, treatments or changes to your lifestyle. We would then recommend patients to take a further test after around 6 months to see if their changes have helped to decrease their biological age.

Your biological age can be higher if you suffer from any pre-existing medical conditions or hormone imbalances, no matter your lifestyle. However, the majority of people will find that their lifestyle is the main reason their biological age is higher. Making changes to your diet, increasing protein intake and reducing processed food can help. As well as ensuring you are more active, exercising 3-4 times a week is recommended. Our doctors may also recommend NAD+ supplements, probiotics or BHRT.
