Biological age is a snapshot of the past. Pace of aging is a speedometer: how many biological years you are adding per calendar year today. It is the number most likely to move when you change how you live.
A pace of 1.0 means one biological year per calendar year. Below 1.0 you are aging more slowly than average, above 1.0 faster. Pace-of-aging models were developed from long-term studies that followed the same people for decades, and are read from DNA methylation in a single blood sample.
Because pace reflects the present, it is the most useful number for checking whether a change worked. The Younger DNA annual plan includes two Age + Health tests six months apart and a comparison report showing what moved.
| Test | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Younger DNA Age | Biological age, pace of aging, 11 body-system ages, raw data | €299 |
| Younger DNA Health | Methylation-based markers for inflammation, metabolism, nutrition and exposures | €299 |
| Age + Health | Both reports from one sample | €449 |
| Annual plan | Age + Health twice a year, comparison report | €799 |
Below 1.0 means slower than average. Your report shows where you sit in the population and how you compare with your previous test.
Every six to twelve months, or six months after a significant change in lifestyle or treatment.
