Biological Age from a Blood Test

Mediora estimates your biological age from a set of routine blood markers plus your age - using the published PhenoAge algorithm (Levine, 2018). A wellness signal, not a diagnosis.

What biological age is

Chronological age counts years. Biological age tries to reflect the state of your body - and can read younger or older than your years. Mediora estimates it from your labs.

How it's calculated (PhenoAge)

The estimate is built on the published, peer-reviewed PhenoAge algorithm (Levine et al., 2018), which combines nine routine blood markers with your age.

Albumin, creatinine, glucose
C-reactive protein (CRP)
Lymphocyte percent, white blood cells (WBC)
MCV, RDW, alkaline phosphatase (ALP)

What it means

A "younger" reading can reflect favourable markers; "older" is a signal worth attention. It's a wellness signal over time, best read alongside your marker trends.

Important

It is an estimate, not a diagnosis, and it only appears when all the required markers are present. Don't make decisions on it without your doctor.

Frequently asked questions

What is a biological age from a blood test?

It is an estimate of your body's state from blood markers, which can differ from your chronological age. Mediora computes it with the PhenoAge algorithm (Levine, 2018).

Which markers are needed?

Nine routine ones: albumin, creatinine, glucose, CRP, lymphocyte percent, MCV, RDW, alkaline phosphatase and white blood cells - plus your age.

Is it a precise medical metric?

No. It's a wellness signal based on a published algorithm, not a diagnosis. Discuss your health with your doctor.

How much does it cost?

Free during the open beta - like the rest of Mediora's capabilities.
