Frequently Asked Questions
What does this test measure?
This test measures the length of telomeres, which are protective caps on the ends of chromosomes. Shorter telomeres are associated with increased biological age and various health conditions.
Who should take this test?
Individuals interested in understanding their biological age or those with a family history of age-related diseases may benefit from this test. It is also useful for monitoring health in aging populations.
How do I prepare for this test?
Preparation involves collecting specific blood samples and buccal swabs as outlined. Ensure that the samples are kept refrigerated during transport and do not freeze.
What do the results mean?
Results indicate the length of telomeres, which can provide insights into biological aging. Abnormal results may suggest increased risks for age-related health issues.
How long until I get my results?
Results are typically available within 15 days. They will be delivered through the specified communication method.
