British scientists have discovered a simple new molecular blood test which can now predict the actual age of the human body, different from chronological age. British scientists have discovered a simple new molecular blood test which can now predict the actual age of the human body, different from chronological age. According to a team from King's College London, looking at "biological age" is more useful and accurate than using a date of birth in predicting the rate of ageing in a human being. Scientists are looking at biological age as a real predictor of healthy life.
They say that a person who is 40 years of age might have a body of an 80-year-old due to poor lifestyle and vice versa. The new test looks for an ageing signature in our body's cells by comparing the behavior of 150 different genes. It was developed by initially comparing 54,000 markers of gene activity in healthy but…
