Biological Age Clock

microRNA-based

Three circulating microRNAs (miR-21, miR-24 and miR-155) reflect inflammation, cellular ageing and metabolism. Their interplay is used to calculate a biological age, which is compared with your chronological age.

Explained simply

Explained simply: what is done and why does it matter?

All terms and numbers explained simply

An estimate of your biological age is calculated from three microRNAs in the blood.

What is done?

The lab measures three microRNAs in the blood. In studies they are linked with inflammation, cell ageing and metabolism. A fourth microRNA serves as a yardstick so that the values are comparable.

From this a biological age is calculated and set next to your calendar age, i.e. your age by date of birth. You see the difference in years.

Why does it matter?

  • A compact way into the topic of biological age.
  • You get a baseline for later comparisons.
  • Two measurements show whether the value moves.

Good to know: So far the calculation model has only been tested in a pilot study with 539 people. There it was off by around 10 years on average. A single number is therefore not an age determination. The progress tells you more, but small changes can be chance there, too.

About this test

Biological Age Clock in detail

01What is measured
  • Epigenetic and modifiable: miR-21, miR-24, miR-155, normalised against miR-93
02What you receive

A biological age and its deviation from your calendar age in years. You read your report in the PolarisDX customer portal.

03One or two measurements

Epigenetic markers and microRNAs change with diet, exercise, sleep and stress. A second measurement shows the trend.

04Methodology

The underlying model has been published as a pilot study (n = 539) with a mean absolute error of around 10 years. A single value is not an age determination — the trend is what counts.

05How it works
  1. Activate the kit and complete the questionnaire in the PolarisDX customer portal.
  2. Place a few drops of capillary blood from your fingertip on the dried blood card. No cold shipping, no fasting, no venous puncture.
  3. Send the sample back.
  4. Read your report in the customer portal.
