Aging is a natural process—but did you know that your cellular (biological) age can differ significantly from your actual (chronological) age?
Various lifestyle choices can influence this, such as:
- Choosing healthy foods
- Getting adequate sleep
- Engaging in appropriate exercise
- Managing stress, as stress levels can accelerate or slow down the aging process
- Your surrounding environment
What is TruAge?
TruAge is a genetic test that comprehensively measures your rate of ageing and biological or cellular age using epigenetics. The method involves DNA methylation, analysing over 950,000 CpG sites on your DNA. This provides insights into factors that either accelerate or slow down aging.
How is Biological Age different from Chronological Age?
Biological or cellular age reflects the actual internal state of your body. It can be younger, older, or the same as your chronological age (based on your birth date). It depends on health care habits and risk factors, both internal and environmental.
Benefits of TruAge Testing:
- Reveals whether your biological age is higher or lower than your actual age
- Helps you adjust your lifestyle and develop personalized medical plans
- Tracks the effectiveness of anti-aging efforts
- Serves as a predictor for chronic diseases
