Can we measure how rapidly you are aging?

The science concerned with Aging has yet to produce a generally accepted model to determine the rate of aging and the discrepancy between the biological age and chronological age at a specific time. The Gompertz equation, which describes the increase of mortality over time, is often used to measure the rate of the ageing process. The Gompertz relationship can be used to calculate the change in life expectancy corresponding to a particular SMR (standardized mortality ratio) over a greater range than have previous methods, and, although subject to some uncertainties, can provide a quick method of judging the change in life expectancy that is associated with a given SMR value.

Then there is the Aging of Skin connective tissue: The connective tissue of the skin is composed mostly of collagen and elastin. Collagen makes up 70-80% of the dry weight of the skin and gives the dermis its mechanical and structural integrity. Elastin is a minor component of the dermis, but it has an important function in providing the elasticity of the skin. During aging, the synthesis of collagen gradually declines, and the skin thus becomes thinner in protected skin, especially after the seventh decade.

Telomeres are the latest subject of scientific enthusiasm: a predictor of health and aging, a comparatively obscure enzyme called telomerase might eclipse the importance much more famous molecules – cholesterol, for instance. Telomerase acts on DNA at the ends of chromosomes, called telomeres. Telomeres might be a link between stress, diseases associated with aging and aging itself. The level of telomerase activity is important in determining telomere length in aging cells and tissues.

We are Innovators of evidence based, sustainable Health and Vitality, Anti-Aging and Beauty Systems. Our emphasis is on using cutting-edge Technology to find a persons’ needs and imbalances – and Natural means to address and restore perfect Well-being. The ultimate objective is to detect latent health risks before any symptom of illness can interrupt the Individuals’ normal lifestyle. We accomplish these goals by developing novel analyses and treatment systems that search for causes at the cellular level.
