How old do your labs look?

Turns nine routine blood tests into an age. An older blood age went with higher death rates.

About 3 minA recent blood test report with a metabolic panel, blood count and CRP

What you'll need

  1. Find a recent blood test report. You need albumin, creatinine, fasting glucose, CRP (high-sensitivity if you have it), alkaline phosphatase, white cell count, lymphocyte percent, MCV and RDW.
  2. Use results from when you were well: an infection or injury raises CRP and white cells for weeks.
  3. Enter them in the units on your report; the page converts them.

What the research found

Phenotypic age, or PhenoAge, turns nine blood tests and your age into a body age: the age at which your risk of death would be typical. In 11,617 US adults followed for about 12 years, people whose PhenoAge was older than their real age died at higher rates. That held even for people who reported no illness, and after taking their real age into account.

Studied in: 11,617 US adults in a national health survey, followed for about 12 years.
