PhenoAge, short for Phenotypic Age, is another biological age estimator developed by researchers . It combines clinical and molecular data. This provides insights into an individual’s aging trajectory. It’s not just about how old you are—it’s about how old your body “feels” based on measurable health parameters.

How is PhenoAge Calculated?

PhenoAge is determined using a mathematical algorithm. It incorporates key blood biomarkers that have been shown to be linked to aging and mortality risk. These biomarkers reflect the body’s functional and physiological state.

There are 9 biomarkers used to cover the most important critical domains of health. The best part is that you can obtain all these from standard laboratory blood test.

Researchers have shown by integrating these markers into the PhenoAge model, they can estimate biological age. This provides a personalised measure of health. It often outperforms chronological age in predicting longevity and disease risk.
