Description
This complex allows for the assessment of real biological age and identification of the main causes of its acceleration. It includes unique markers (telomere length, omega-3 index). The results of the study will determine which factor (cellular aging, excessive glycation, omega-3 deficiency) contributes most to the biological age being ahead of the chronological age. An objective metric of age makes it possible to develop effective recommendations for an anti-age strategy and to focus on correcting the most significant disorders. For whom - For those who want to assess their biological age and obtain a starting point for lifestyle modification. - For the prevention of age-associated diseases and the development of personalized anti-age strategies. - For identifying factors that accelerate age-related changes (hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, omega-3 deficiency). - For people with a family history of early heart attacks, strokes, or neurodegenerative diseases in order to assess their personal risks and begin prevention as early as possible. Key markers related to quality of life and life expectancy are evaluated. Telomere length is a marker of the biological age of a cell. Telomeres are terminal sections of chromosomes that shorten with each division. Telomere length correlates with life expectancy and the risk of developing age-associated diseases (cardiovascular, immune, neurodegenerative). The study is performed once, as the change in telomere length occurs slowly. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is an integral indicator of carbohydrate metabolism over the preceding 2–3 months. It reflects the intensity of glycation processes, which is the non-enzymatic attachment of glucose to proteins, considered one of the key mechanisms of aging: changes in the vascular wall, connective tissue, and the lens of the eye. Lipid panel is an assessment of fat metabolism, including total cholesterol and its fractions. It is used to calculate the risk of atherosclerotic changes in blood vessels and age-related pathology of the cardiovascular system. The omega-3 index reflects the body's supply of omega-3 fatty acids (eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic) in erythrocyte membranes. They have anti-inflammatory effects and influence the state of cell membranes, the functional state of vessels, and nervous tissue. A high index has a powerful cardioprotective and anti-inflammatory effect, slowing the aging of vessels and the brain.
