BIOLOGICAL AGE TEST – READING BLOOD TEST

Where Did You Get Your Blood Test?

Depending on where you completed your blood test, your process to access and read test results may vary.

​If you purchased your blood test through AgelessRx, the following instructions are very explicit. Blood tests purchased via AgelessRx are designed specifically for this Biological Age Test and include the 9 required blood markers.

​If you received your blood test from an annual checkup or lab of your choice, your exact process may differ. You will first want to verify that your blood test includes the required 9 blood markers. Most annual checkups do, but not always.

What Is Needed

The Biological Age Test uses 9 distinct blood markers to help calculate your Phenotypic Age (the age of your health).

Bio Age Test

The 9 blood markers for the purposes of this test include:

  • Albumin
  • Creatinine
  • Glucose
  • C-reac Protein (CRP)
  • Lymphocyte (Lymphs)
  • Mean Cell Volume (MCV)
  • Red Cell Dist Width (RDW)
  • Alkaline Phosphatase
  • White Blood Cells

The AgelessRx Biological Age Test includes the following blood panels/tests to collect the 9 distinct blood markers: Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, Complete Blood Count with Differential (CBC), and a standalone C-Reactive Protein Test (CRP).

In total, your AgelessRx blood test includes 28 biomarkers. While only 9 will be used to calculate your Phenotypic Age, the remaining 19 may be valuable for your informational purposes or to discuss with a doctor. Think of them as a bonus.

Interpreting Your Results

After completing the calculator exercise, you will receive a personalized report detailing your Phenotypic Age and Chronological Age. Specifically, the report will highlight the difference between the two ages.

​If your Phenotypic Age is lower than your chronological age, keep up the great work! But don’t just stop here—take this opportunity to consider doing even more to increase the gap between your chronological age and Phenotypic age. Better sleep and diet, more exercise, and certain longevity treatments can all make an impact.

If your Phenotypic Age is equal to or higher than your chronological age, you have the opportunity to make improvements to your lifestyle, environment, and/or adherence to longevity protocols. The higher your Phenotypic Age, the more likely you may be to experience co-existing morbidities, physical functioning problems, and increased risk of coronary heart disease.
