Telomere Length Test is a biological indicator (Biomarker of Health & Longevity) that helps assess health. and the risk of developing degenerative diseases (Aged-related and degenerative diseases) such as heart disease and Alzheimer's disease
Wouldn't it be great if there was a test that could tell you your true lifespan?
Telomere length can give some “clue” to your health
Testing the length of telomeres Will be able to tell our real age (biological age) that is different from the age on our ID card. (Chronological age) how much? By experimenting Let people try to guess their age from a photo. It was found that people with long telomeres They are predicted to be younger than their actual age. Conversely, people who appear older than their actual age tend to have telomeres that are shorter than their actual age.
telomere length It also reflects the overall health Caused by genetics (genetics), lifestyle habits (behavioral) and various external factors. (environmental factors) that affect our body throughout our lives
From Nobel Prize-winning research in 2009, Elizabeth Blackburn and colleagues discovered the "meaning" of the genetic code at the "end" of DNA that protects against DNA damage during cell division.
Researchers found that When you get older Telomeres are shortened. and short telomeres It is associated with a decrease in "life expectancy" and "memory". In addition, it is also associated with the development of many diseases, such as coronary heart disease. Cerebral artery High blood pressure, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease Parkinson's disease Dementia and cancer
Elizabeth's team also found that we could make Our short telomeres can come back "longer"!! It was found that "Telomerase" is an important enzyme. that can repair telomeres to make them longer which may mean Longer life or a better quality of life due to the risk of chronic disease and degenerative diseases decreased
Currently there is a lot of research. Trying to find the secret of Various methods to increase the expression of genes that control production and function. Telomerase enzyme for the goal of delaying aging in a sustainable way
