Revolutionizing Preventive Health in Africa: The Role of Epigenetic Age Testing at Kallos

Understanding Epigenetic Age Testing

Epigenetic age testing is a cutting-edge diagnostic tool that goes beyond traditional health assessments. It measures the methylation levels in one's DNA, providing an accurate representation of their biological age as opposed to their chronological age. This test is crucial in understanding the underlying factors influencing aging and overall health.

Everyone knows their chronological age. Chronological age is the number of candles that are on top of your cake and the birthdays you celebrate (or sometimes don’t!). However, developments in science have created another measurement of age called biologic or epigenetic age. Unlike chronological age, this measurement of age is based on years of statistical research and provides much more relevant health information. It can tell us how healthy you are and even when you might pass away. TruAge™ uses biomarkers on your DNA called methylation.

The Science of Methylation Testing

Methylation is a biological process that impacts DNA expression and overall cell function. Changes in methylation patterns are key indicators of aging and can reveal the risk of age-related diseases. By analyzing these patterns, TruDiagnostic provides a comprehensive view of one's health and aging process.
