A calculated estimate of how your body is ageing, based on your biomarkers.
Biological age is not a lab test. It is a calculated estimate of how old your body appears to be, based on a panel of biomarkers, compared with your chronological age, the number of years since you were born.
The estimate combines results such as blood markers of metabolism, inflammation, and organ function into a single age-like number, using a validated model. It is a summary, not a measurement of any one substance.
Biological age aims to capture how well your body is functioning rather than simply how many years have passed. Two people of the same chronological age can have different biological ages depending on health, habits, and genetics.
A biological age higher than your real age can be a prompt to look at lifestyle and risk factors. A lower one suggests your measured markers are tracking favourably. It is best seen as a motivational summary rather than a diagnosis.
Aniva reads your result against research-backed ranges, not just the lab's wide normal. The reference shown below is specific to this biomarker.
There is no fixed reference range. The comparison is to your own chronological age.
| Result | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Biological age below chronological age | Markers tracking favourably |
| Biological age near chronological age | As expected for your years |
| Biological age above chronological age | A prompt to review habits and risks |
Estimates depend on the model used and should not be over-interpreted.
Biological age is a model-based estimate, so different methods give different numbers. A single illness, recent infection, or temporary change can shift it. It is a guide, not a precise or diagnostic measure, and should not be used to predict lifespan.
Read alongside the individual biomarkers in the panel and your overall health picture, rather than on its own.
