Phenotypic Age Project Panel Blood Test
Item # LCX00001
Test key aging markers and calculate biological age.
This special panel includes the biomarkers needed to calculate Phenotypic Age along with additional important metabolic markers associated with the aging process.
This Phenotypic Age Project Panel contains the following tests at a special bundled price:
- CBC/Chem/Lipids Panel
- C-Reactive Protein (High Sensitivity)
- Hemoglobin A1C
- Insulin
- Biological Age (Phenotypic Age) Report1
1 This panel’s results report includes a complimentary calculation of biological age, referred to as “Phenotypic Age”.
This calculation is a novel approximation of phenotypic age based on statistical models of mortality risk amongst the NHANES III & IV cohorts.
The information provided from this calculation is provided FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.
Many factors may impact your biomarker results and report, including transient factors such as an infection. Further, the report is based on statistical models that are still in development, and the value of any insights is not fully understood.
This report is not a substitute for medical advice, and is not intended to provide medical advice. The results should not be used to diagnose, treat, prevent, or cure any disease. Any health-related decisions informed by the test results you receive should be made with the consultation of a qualified, licensed, healthcare provider.
Phenotypic Age is calculated using the formula described in the following publications:
