There is a great value in taking the time at least once a year to perform an overall longevity assessment. By keeping records of important personal biomarkers it is possible to identify trends that, while still in the ‘normal range’, nonetheless can alert us to situations that can be corrected years before they are detected by the conventional medical system.
These determinations allow a ‘biological age’ to be calculated for each biological system to be compared with the persons ‘chronological age’ (as indicated by their birthdate). For example, this person with a chronological age of 50 can have different biological ages calculated from their various systems (such as cardiovascular, neurological, immune, etc.). It shows which systems are aging more rapidly and may need more attention.
