Description

How Old Is Your Body—Biologically?

Your chronological age tells you how many birthdays you've had. Your biological age may tell a different story.

TruAge™ by TruDiagnostic is an advanced epigenetic aging test that analyzes more than 1,000,000 DNA methylation sites to provide a detailed picture of how your body is aging.

From one simple at-home finger-prick sample, TruAge evaluates your biological age, pace of aging, telomere length, immune aging, inflammation, and the biological age of 11 different organ systems.

What Does TruAge Measure?

Biological Age – OMICmAge™

OMICmAge™ evaluates DNA methylation patterns associated with proteins, metabolites and clinical biomarkers to estimate your overall biological age.

The result allows you to compare your biological age with your actual chronological age.

Are you aging biologically younger—or older—than the number on your driver's license?

Pace of Aging – DunedinPACE™

Your biological age is important, but how quickly you are currently aging may be even more useful.

DunedinPACE™ estimates your current rate of biological aging.

A value around 1.0 represents approximately one biological year of aging for each chronological year.

This measurement can be especially useful when testing is repeated over time to evaluate whether changes in nutrition, exercise, sleep and other lifestyle factors are associated with changes in your aging trajectory.

11 Organ-System Ages

TruAge uses SYMPHONYAge™ technology to estimate biological aging across 11 individual organ and physiological systems:

  • Brain
  • Heart
  • Lungs
  • Liver
  • Kidneys
  • Immune system
  • Blood
  • Hormonal system
  • Metabolic system
  • Musculoskeletal system
  • Inflammatory system

This can provide a much more detailed picture than a single biological-age number.

For example, your overall biological age could look favorable while one particular system—such as your cardiovascular, metabolic or inflammatory system—appears to be aging faster.

Telomere Length

TruAge also provides an estimate of telomere length.

Telomeres are protective structures located at the ends of chromosomes. They generally shorten as cells divide and are widely studied as biomarkers associated with cellular aging.

Immune System Aging

The TruAge report includes an immune-cell analysis based on DNA methylation patterns.

This provides information about different immune-cell populations and may offer insight into how the immune system changes with aging.

Inflammation

TruAge includes epigenetic estimates associated with important inflammatory markers, including:

CRP (C-Reactive Protein) IL-6 (Interleukin-6)

Chronic inflammation is an important component of aging and is sometimes referred to as “inflammaging.”

Lifestyle Impact

The TruAge report also includes epigenetic information related to:

Smoking exposure Alcohol exposure

These measurements can provide additional insight into how long-term lifestyle exposures may be reflected in your epigenetics.

More Than 75 Longevity Biomarkers

Altogether, TruAge provides 75+ longevity biomarkers organized into reports designed to give you a broad picture of your aging process.

Rather than relying on one biological-age calculation, TruAge combines multiple advanced epigenetic aging technologies to examine aging from several different perspectives.

Who May Benefit From TruAge Testing?

TruAge may be especially interesting for people focused on:

  • Healthy aging and longevity
  • Preventive health
  • Cardiovascular wellness
  • Brain and cognitive health
  • Metabolic health
  • Inflammation
  • Immune health
  • Exercise and physical performance
  • Nutrition optimization
  • Evaluating lifestyle changes
  • Establishing an aging baseline
  • Tracking aging trends over time

Simple At-Home Finger-Prick Test

No traditional blood draw is required.

TruAge uses a simple finger-prick blood collection that can be completed at home.

Only a few drops of blood are needed.
