Description:
The Comprehensive Aging and Longevity Panel is a detailed diagnostic tool designed to assess various physiological parameters that influence aging, overall health, and longevity. This panel combines tests that evaluate metabolic, hormonal, nutritional, and organ function, offering a holistic view of a patient’s health status.
 Tests Included in the Panel:
1. Complete Blood Count (CBC)Purpose: Evaluates red and white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets. Significance: Detects anemia, infection, or inflammatory conditions that may impact energy levels, immune function, and overall vitality.
2. Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)Purpose: Assesses electrolytes, liver and kidney function, and glucose levels. Significance: Helps monitor organ health and metabolic stability, key factors in aging.
3. Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Purpose: Measures pituitary gland function and reproductive health. Significance: High FSH levels may indicate menopause or decreased reproductive function, common with aging.
4. Luteinizing Hormone (LH) Purpose: Regulates reproductive hormone production. Significance: Elevated LH can signal hormonal imbalances associated with aging or menopause.
5. Vitamin D Purpose: Measures levels of vitamin D, critical for bone health and immune function. Significance: Deficiencies are common with aging and can lead to bone loss, reduced immunity, and fatigue.
6. Vitamin B12 Purpose: Evaluates levels of this essential vitamin for nerve function and red blood cell production. Significance: Deficiency may result in fatigue, memory issues, or neurological problems, often seen in aging populations.
7. Ferritin Purpose: Measures iron stores in the body.Significance: Abnormal ferritin levels may indicate iron-deficiency anemia or iron overload, both of which affect energy and longevity.
8. Cortisol Purpose: Assesses stress hormone levels. Significance: Chronic stress and elevated cortisol are linked to accelerated aging, inflammation, and decreased immune function.
9. Progesterone Purpose: Measures levels of this reproductive hormone. Significance: Imbalances in progesterone can affect mood, sleep, and hormonal health, particularly in women.
10. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) Purpose: Evaluates average blood sugar levels over 2–3 months. Significance: Helps detect and monitor prediabetes or diabetes, conditions that significantly impact aging and longevity.
11. Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Purpose: Assesses thyroid function. Significance: Thyroid imbalances can lead to metabolic changes, fatigue, and weight fluctuations, all of which affect aging.
Clinical Applications: Aging Assessment: Tracks age-related changes in hormonal, metabolic, and nutritional health. Disease Prevention: Identifies early markers of chronic diseases like osteoporosis, diabetes, or thyroid disorders. Personalized Health Plans: Guides interventions, including lifestyle modifications, nutritional supplementation, or medical treatments, to promote longevity.
Ideal Candidates for Testing: Individuals seeking to optimize health and aging. Those experiencing symptoms like fatigue, hormonal imbalance, or cognitive decline. Patients with a family history of age-related conditions like osteoporosis, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease. The Comprehensive Aging and Longevity Panel is an essential tool for proactive health management, empowering individuals to take charge of their well-being and extend their vitality as they age.
- Instructions: Fasting for 6–8 hours prior to the test is usually required. Always follow specific instructions provided by your physician for the most accurate results.
