FAQ
What biomarkers does this panel measure? Seven key aging categories: metabolic function, inflammation, hormones, thyroid, cardiovascular health, kidney function, and nutritional status through comprehensive blood and urine analysis.
Do I need a doctor's referral to order this test? No referral needed. Order directly online, pay with HSA/FSA cards or credit cards, and visit any nationwide lab location.
How accurate are these aging biomarkers? Research shows blood biomarker models achieve 75% accuracy in predicting biological age, with 9.2% better mortality prediction than chronological age (Nature 2024).
Should I fast before this test? Yes, fast for 12 hours before blood collection for accurate glucose and lipid measurements. Drink only water during fasting period.
How often should I repeat this panel? Establish baseline measurements, then retest every 6-12 months to track aging biomarker trends and intervention effectiveness.
What if my results show abnormal values? Share results with a healthcare provider familiar with anti-aging medicine for comprehensive interpretation and personalized treatment planning.
More Details
What is the purpose of this test?
This comprehensive panel evaluates seven scientifically validated categories of aging biomarkers to provide insights into your biological aging process (Expert Consensus Statement, Journals of Gerontology 2025). The test measures critical indicators including blood glucose levels, inflammatory markers, fatty acid metabolism, hormonal status, thyroid function, cardiovascular health, and kidney function. By analyzing these biomarkers, you can identify potential health risks before clinical symptoms appear and guide targeted interventions to optimize your healthspan and longevity.
Who would benefit from this test?
This panel is particularly valuable for women over 40 experiencing hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause, when physiological changes accelerate and vulnerability to age-related diseases increases. Health-conscious adults seeking baseline measurements for anti-aging protocols, individuals with family histories of cardiovascular disease or diabetes, and those wanting to monitor biological aging markers proactively will find this comprehensive assessment invaluable for preventive health planning.
When should I order the Anti-Aging #1 Baseline Panel?
Order this panel as a baseline assessment in mid-adulthood (ages 35-50), then annually or biannually to track aging biomarker trends. It's also ideal when starting anti-aging interventions to establish baseline measurements for monitoring effectiveness. The panel provides optimal value for preventive health insights, allowing early detection of metabolic dysfunction, inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and nutritional deficiencies before symptoms develop.
How do I interpret the results?
Results are compared against age and gender-specific reference ranges, with focus on trends over time rather than single measurements. Each biomarker provides specific insights into different aspects of aging and health status.
Metabolic Health
- Key Indicators: Glucose, HbA1c, Insulin markers
- Typical Interpretation: Evaluates diabetes risk and metabolic aging
Inflammation
- Key Indicators: CRP, white blood cell markers
- Typical Interpretation: Assesses chronic inflammation driving aging
Hormonal Status
- Key Indicators: Testosterone, Estradiol, IGF-1
- Typical Interpretation: Monitors age-related hormonal decline
Cardiovascular
- Key Indicators: Lipid panel, cholesterol ratios
- Typical Interpretation: Evaluates heart disease and vascular aging
Thyroid Function
- Key Indicators: TSH, thyroid hormones
- Typical Interpretation: Assesses metabolic regulation and energy
Kidney Function
- Key Indicators: Creatinine, BUN, eGFR
- Typical Interpretation: Monitors organ aging and waste filtration
Nutritional Status
- Key Indicators: Vitamin D, Iron studies
- Typical Interpretation: Evaluates deficiencies affecting cellular aging
Research shows that for every one-year increase in biological age beyond chronological age, mortality risk increases by 11% (Nature Aging 2024).
Disclaimer: Reference ranges may vary by laboratory. Listed ranges are general guidelines and may differ from those used by the performing lab. Always consult your healthcare provider for interpretation.
Pre-test preparation
Fast for 12 hours before blood collection, consuming only water during this period for accurate glucose and lipid measurements. Continue regular medications unless specifically advised otherwise, but inform the lab of any supplements or hormones that might affect results. Schedule testing in the morning (7-10 AM) for optimal hormone and metabolic marker accuracy, and avoid intense physical activity for 24 hours prior to testing.
How often should I get tested?
Testing frequency depends on your age, health status, and whether you're implementing anti-aging interventions. Regular monitoring allows you to track biological aging trends and intervention effectiveness.
- Baseline establishment (ages 35–50): Initially, then annually
- Active anti-aging protocol monitoring: Every 6 months
- Normal aging surveillance (over 50): Every 12 months
- Post-intervention assessment: 3–6 months after changes
- High-risk family history: Every 6–12 months
Why early detection matters
Early biomarker detection can identify age-related conditions decades before clinical manifestation. Among adults aged 65 and older, 50-80% have prediabetes or diabetes, while cardiovascular disease affects approximately 70% of older adults (American Heart Association 2024). The VITAL study demonstrated that vitamin D supplementation reduced biological aging equivalent to nearly three years by protecting DNA (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2025), highlighting how early intervention based on biomarker testing can significantly impact aging outcomes.
