Short Answer: Telomere length is only one of many physiological factors that affect biological age. Other factors that affect cellular aging include levels of inflammation, oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, mitochondrial function, epigenetics, metabolic efficiency and more. To reduce biological age to just telomere length is somewhat misleading. Although it is a good marketing tactic, reporting a biological age based solely on telomere length is a gross oversimplif...

But not all telomere tests are created equal as some disparity exists between labs. Measuring small amounts of DNA in a telomere takes some skill so it is imperative to use a lab that is experienced in telomere testing. SpectraCell was the first lab to commercialize telomere testing in the United States, back in 2010. With over a decade of samples, our reference population is well over 15,000 pa...

Everyone knows that exercise is good for health: after all, it not only does the obvious (burns calories and builds strength), it furthermore helps balance hormones, lifts mood, and fights depression. Did you know that it also has a role in maintaining memory and cognitive function as we age? A new study has shed light on yet another interesting way that exercise helps keep one young. Researchers recently found that physical activity may help preserve telomeres, the strands of DNA... Read More Posted by Elissa Rodriguez at Wednesday, February 22, 2017 biological age
