is biological age from blood work legit or just another gimmick?
Found this thing that tells you your "real age" from blood work. Mine says 44. I'm 51. Is this legit or total BS?
Got my labs back from my physical. Was googling what half the numbers even mean and ended up finding this formula some Yale researcher made that spits out a biological age. You just plug in 9 values from a regular blood test.
I put my numbers in and got 44. I'm 51. Felt pretty good about it for about 10 seconds before I started thinking this is probably just telling everyone what they want to hear.
Anyone actually know if this Phenoage holds up? Like is there real science behind it or is it the same category as those "face age" apps?
Also my RDW is always slightly high and apparently that's a big factor in the formula which is the main reason I don't fully trust my result. Anyone else have that?
This is what I used.
