Measuring Biologic Age Using Omics Data
Nat Rev Genetics 2022 Dec;23(12):715-727.
This is an excellent review on testing organ aging.
Many of the tests for inflammation , metabolics and functional screening are commonly available.
The recent bestseller Outlive by Peter Attia MD
is a good read. The question is do we want to have
a longer “healthspan”.

Chronic inflammation is hard on the body. One of the things I've focused on since developing coronary artery disease is stress management, which helps reduce chronic inflammation. High sensitivity CRP is a good overall measure of inflammation.

My answer to " The question is do we want to have a longer “healthspan”"?
I DO! Not just a longer "lifespan" but a longer time to live productively. I may no longer have a great body, but I have a very important goal - to be present for and helpful to my kids, grandkids, family & friends for as long as I can.
I just don't care what any test says - I know how to maximize may abilities and minimize my risks, so I do just that.
"Outlive" is just one tool in my kit.
