Longevity Biomarkers

Meaning

Longevity biomarkers are measurable biological characteristics that objectively indicate an individual’s physiological or biological age and their propensity for age-related disease and mortality risk. These markers provide a quantifiable assessment of the body’s functional integrity and the efficiency of its repair and maintenance systems. Unlike chronological age, these indicators are dynamic and can be influenced by lifestyle, environmental factors, and therapeutic interventions. Examples include epigenetic clocks, telomere length, and specific hormonal ratios that reflect systemic health.
