The test analyzes specific biomarkers—often sugar molecules attached to immune proteins (called glycans)—that reflect the state of your immune system and levels of low-grade chronic inflammation. These biomarkers naturally shift as you age, but they’re also strongly influenced by lifestyle factors like stress, diet, sleep, and physical activity. By comparing your biological markers to population averages, the test estimates your biological age, which can be younger or older than your chronological age depending on your overall health status.
Biological Age Test / Glycan Age Test
A biological age test measures how your body is truly aging at the cellular or immune system level, as opposed to your chronological age (your age in years). By analyzing specific biomarkers linked to inflammation, immune function, and repair processes, this test offers a personalized snapshot of your current health status. It’s a powerful tool for anyone focused on wellness, longevity, or biohacking—providing insight into how lifestyle, diet, stress, and exercise are affecting your internal age, and empowering you to track progress over time.
Area(s)
Longevity, wellness & biohacking — determines how your immune system is aging compared to your chronological age, revealing inflammation-driven aging processes.
Duration
A quick blood spot sample (<5 min).
Lab results and report available in 3–5 weeks.
Frequency
Optimal for tracking, with retesting every 6–12 months to measure impact of lifestyle and wellness modifications on the aging process.
What to Expect
How We Do It
- Collect four drops of capillary blood via finger prick at EV Clinic Dubai
- In ~4 weeks, receive your personal Dashboard report and a one-on-one consultation with Dr Anna Sepiolo to interpret your biological age and develop a longevity strategy
Side Effects
None.
Time to Full Effect
While your biological age reflects your current health status, it is dynamic and can improve with the right interventions. Many individuals begin to see measurable improvements in their biological age within 3 to 6 months by adopting personalized lifestyle changes—such as anti-inflammatory nutrition, regular exercise, quality sleep, and stress reduction as discussed during your new plan created with Dr Anna at EV Clinic. The test can be repeated periodically to monitor progress and adjust wellness strategies over time.
Questions? We’ve got answers.
What’s the difference between biological age and chronological age?
Chronological age is your birthdate; biological age reflects your cellular and immune system health.
Can my biological age improve?
Yes. With lifestyle changes—like improved diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management—biological age can be reduced over time.
What does this test actually measure?
It evaluates specific biomarkers related to inflammation, immune system activity, and aging processes to estimate how your body is aging internally.
How often should I take this test?
Every 6 to 12 months is ideal if you’re actively working on improving your health or tracking the impact of lifestyle changes.
Is this test useful even if I feel healthy?
Yes. It provides proactive insights into long-term health and longevity, helping you fine-tune wellness and prevention strategies before symptoms appear. Biohack your health today!
