What it analyses
Not just how old you are, but how old your cells seem
Many age clocks read DNA methylation, which changes slowly. The GENEOMETRY® Clock reads microRNAs, which reflect current activity in your cells. It estimates how far your biological age sits from your calendar age.

Your report
Biological age at a glance
The report shows your result in years, on a scale from minus 10 to plus 10. Each microRNA is scored 1 to 9, with diet and lifestyle scores from a short questionnaire.
- GreenIn the favourable range. The report suggests how to keep it there.
- YellowIn the middle band. Your doctor explains what it means for you.
- RedStands out. Your doctor prioritises it in your plan.
- A fictional example report from HealthBioCare, the laboratory that runs the analysis. Your own report follows the same layout.
