Biological Age (PhenoAge) Calculator
Peer-reviewed clinical algorithm (Levine et al., 2018) analyzing 9 standard blood panel biomarkers to measure cellular senescence, mortality risk, and your true physiological age.
Evaluates how each specific blood marker influences your cellular senescence velocity.

Actionable Longevity & Rejuvenation Protocols
Your biological age reflects current cellular stress, mitochondrial function, and systemic inflammation. Targeted interventions can halt and reverse biological aging over a 6 to 12 month timeframe.
The Science of Biological Age: Chronological vs Phenotypic Aging
Chronological age simply records the number of times the Earth has revolved around the sun since you were born. However, two individuals of identical chronological age (e.g. 40 years old) can exhibit drastically divergent organ function, cellular decay, and mortality risk. In geroscience, Biological Age (Phenotypic Age) measures the true functional state of your physiological systems.
The Morgan Levine PhenoAge Algorithm
Developed by Dr. Morgan E. Levine at Yale University and published in Aging (2018), PhenoAge was created using machine learning on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III and IV) tracking tens of thousands of participants over decades. Unlike commercial DNA methylation kits that only examine epigenetic methyl tags, PhenoAge analyzes multi-system organ homeostasis through routine, accessible blood chemistry.
The mathematical model uses a Gompertz proportional hazards regression combining 9 clinical biomarkers:
- Albumin: A major liver-synthesized serum protein reflecting hepatic function, nutritional status, and systemic inflammatory suppression. Low levels strongly correlate with accelerated mortality.
- Creatinine: A metabolic byproduct of creatine breakdown filtered by the kidneys. Elevated levels indicate impaired glomerular filtration and renal stress.
- Serum Fasting Glucose: Chronic hyperglycemia drives advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), vascular stiffening, and cellular senescence.
- C-Reactive Protein (CRP / hs-CRP): An acute-phase hepatic protein that surges during systemic low-grade inflammation (termed “inflammaging”).
- Lymphocyte Percentage: Adaptive immune system competence. Immunosenescence is characterized by a shrinking naïve lymphocyte pool and relative granulocyte expansion.
- Mean Cell Volume (MCV): Average erythrocyte size, sensitive to folate/B12 methylation capacity and membrane turnover.
- Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW): Variation in red blood cell volume. Elevated RDW reflects impaired erythropoiesis, telomere attrition, and endothelial stress.
- Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP): An enzyme linked to liver, bile duct, and bone turnover; elevated levels indicate hepatic congestion or chronic osteoblastic inflammation.
- White Blood Cell Count (WBC): Total circulating immune cells; chronically elevated WBC signals persistent innate immune activation and vascular inflammation.
