Biological age test — what to ask.

A biological age test estimates age from a sample rather than from a date of birth — for example from DNA methylation marks (an “epigenetic clock”). This page is about such tests as private clinics sell them.

Worth asking

  • Genetic, epigenetic and microbiome tests: Ask where your genetic data is stored, for how long, and whether it is shared or sold.

    What does the first consultation involve, and is there a fee?
