The question of longevity has become a big part of the health and wellness conversation in recent years: what does it mean, can we measure it, and which habits and protocols are associated with longer, healthier lives. And, of course, it comes from a natural drive – to stay healthy and vital for longer, for ourselves and our families. Researchers, scientists and thought leaders in the field, such as Peter Attia, Andrew Huberman and David Sinclair, have brought <\/span>the topic of longevity<\/span><\/a> into the mainstream spotlight, and the interest in measuring it has grown with that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Advances in science and technology have changed what is possible. Blood panels, wearables<\/a> and home test kits promise to show how well you are ageing, and the list of biomarkers you could track grows every year to the point where it gets overwhelming<\/a> to follow everything.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The truth is that most of it is not essential. A small set of biomarkers has strong evidence behind it, while the rest are still being studied or useful only in particular situations. What matters more than the number of markers is how you use them: measuring the right things, in the same way, over enough time to see a trend.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

This guide covers which biomarkers are worth observing over time for long-term health and how to track the results. It is all individual depending on your age, history, etc. But the set of biomarkers below is generally considered as a good starting point, you can discuss with your health practitioner. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What exactly are biomarkers and \n<\/span><\/span>what can they tell you about longevity? <\/span><\/span><\/h3><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A biomarker is a measurable sign of what is happening in your body. The FDA-NIH BEST (Biomarkers, EndpointS, and other Tools) glossary defines it as \u201c<\/span>a defined characteristic that is measured as an indicator of normal biological processes, pathogenic processes, or biological responses to an exposure or intervention, including therapeutic interventions.<\/span><\/a>\u201d Blood pressure, cholesterol, HbA1c and grip strength are all biomarkers. For longevity, in particular, the useful ones are those\u00a0 linked to the conditions that most often shorten or limit healthy life, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and to the loss of fitness and muscle strength that comes with age.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Three things to keep in mind when it comes to biomarkers and longevity:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

  1. A biomarker shows risk, not inevitability.<\/b> A number tells you about the odds, and many of them can be changed. And this is where tracking becomes powerful – in order to change something, you need to see it first.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
  2. Association is not a cause<\/b>. In a <\/span>UK Biobank study of nearly 71,000 adults<\/span><\/a>, people with higher fitness and stronger grip had a lower risk of dying over the next 5.7 years on average. The study, along with others, only observed people, so it can\u2019t show that fitness itself caused the difference. Fitter people may also differ in other ways, such as diet, sleep or existing health. So it shows what goes with better health, not always what causes it.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
  3. A trend in the results tells a lot more than a single value.<\/b><\/a> Most markers vary from day to day and from lab to lab. What counts is the direction over months and years. <\/span><\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    There is no official \u201clongevity biomarkers\u201d list. The markers below are the ones with the strongest evidence so far, grouped by what they show.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    Heart circulation and blood vessels<\/b><\/p>

    Blood pressure and blood fats (lipids) are the well-established, long-lasting core of cardiovascular risk assessment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
