Learn about Biological Age
Health Check is a general wellness tool. It is intended for maintaining and encouraging a healthy lifestyle. It is not intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, prevention, or treatment of a disease or condition.
No individuals should use the provided information, resources or tools contained in this app to self-diagnose or self-treat any health-related condition.
Biological age is an estimate of the age of your cells and body.
Having a biological age below or in-line with your chronological age is generally preferred as it implies better overall wellness.
Biological Age
How is Biological Age calculated?
Health Check by Preemptive AI uses a proprietary AI algorithm to predict the age of your cells and body. The algorithm has been trained on data from participants across the world including USA, India, and Cameroon.
The AI algorithm looks at the shape of the blood flow signal to extract features that are associated with one’s age. For example, a more steep rise to the first peak may be correlated with a lower age.
It then uses these features to predict your biological age.
Why does it matter?
Age is the strongest risk factor for mortality and disease. For example, rates of chronic health conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes increase with age.
This is in part due to a decline in physiological function, stiffening of arteries, and the loss of cells' ability to repair themselves.
As a result, having a biological age that is lower or aligned with your chronological age is associated with improved health and fitness.
How can I lower my biological age?
Living a healthy lifestyle can improve your overall wellness and fitness and lower your biological age.
