What is the PhenoAge Biological Age test?

PhenoAge is a biological age test that determines your true body age instead of your chronological age. Developed by scientists at UCLA and Yale University, this test uses 9 standard blood values to predict how quickly your body is actually aging and what your risk is for age-related diseases.

The 9 PhenoAge biomarkers:

  • Albumin: Protein that reflects overall health and nutritional status.
  • Creatinine: Indicator for kidney function and muscle metabolism.
  • Glucose: Blood sugar level that shows metabolic health.
  • C-reactive protein (CRP): Inflammation marker that measures chronic inflammation.
  • Lymphocytes: White blood cells crucial for immune function.
  • Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV): Size of red blood cells, related to nutritional status.
  • Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW): Variation in size of red blood cells.
  • Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP): Enzyme that indicates liver and bone health.
  • White blood cell count: Total number of white blood cells for immune monitoring.

Why determine PhenoAge?

PhenoAge offers unique insights into your aging process that go beyond your calendar age:

  • Predicts Health Risks: Strong correlation with the likelihood of cardiovascular disease and mortality.
  • Measures Intervention Effects: Objectively shows whether lifestyle changes actually slow down your aging.
  • Personalized Health: Provides specific areas of focus for your aging process.
  • Scientifically Validated: Based on extensive research in large populations.

What do the results mean?

Your PhenoAge score represents your biological age. If your PhenoAge is higher than your chronological age, this may indicate accelerated aging due to factors such as chronic inflammation, poor metabolic health, or reduced organ function. A lower PhenoAge suggests that your body is aging slower than average for your age.

Why is this important?

Unlike other aging tests that require complex DNA analysis, PhenoAge uses only standard blood values. This makes it the most accessible and practical biological age test available. PhenoAge helps you take concrete steps to slow down your aging and extend your healthspan by providing insight into the actual state of your body.

Limited evidence in mainstream medicine

The scientific support for this test within mainstream Dutch healthcare is limited. The test is not included in NHG/FMS standard guidelines.

Rationale for this test

PhenoAge is een biologische leeftijdstest gebaseerd op 9 standaard bloedwaardes. Hoewel de onderliggende biomarkers (albumine, creatinine, glucose, CRP, lymfocyten, MCV, RDW, alkalische fosfatase, leukocyten) individueel gevalideerde laboratoriumtests zijn, is het PhenoAge-algoritme zelf niet opgenomen in Nederlandse zorgrichtlijnen van NHG of FMS. De wetenschappelijke onderbouwing komt voornamelijk uit internationaal onderzoek naar associaties met sterfte en cardiovasculaire risico's, maar de klinische betekenis voor individuele patiënten en de interpretatie van de 'biologische leeftijd' zijn nog onderwerp van wetenschappelijk debat.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to what people usually want to know.

How does it work from order to result?

After ordering we generate a referral letter and email you the instructions. You pick a collection point yourself and book an appointment there. Blood is drawn at the location, processed at the lab, and your result arrives digitally.

How quickly can I get tested?

Often within a few working days. How soon you can be seen depends on how busy the location is and the type of analysis. For specialist analyses we first ship collection materials, which takes a bit longer.

Do I need to book an appointment?

At most collection points yes. Some accept walk-ins. This is clearly indicated per location. You choose the location that works best for you.

Do I need to fast before the test?

That depends on the test. Whether fasting is required, and from what time, is clearly stated in the instructions you receive after ordering. No surprises at the counter.

When and how do I receive my result?

It varies per analysis: from same-day to a few working days. Standard values often come back quickly; analyses that go to an external lab can take a bit longer. You get an email with a link to your digital result, including a short explanation per value.

Where can I go for collection?

We work with 1,000+ collection points across the Netherlands. After ordering you'll see which locations near you are available and you pick where you'd like to go.

“Hele fijne en snelle service”

Hele fijne en snelle service! Ik contacteerde ze ‘s nachts omdat ik zsm moest bloedprikken, ik kon die ochtend nog terecht en heb dezelfde dag mijn uitslag binnengekregen. Echt top!!

Madina ShinwariVerified

“Bloedcheckup levert”

Waar ziekenhuizen moeilijk doen om checkup te doen , komt Bloedcheckup naar boven drijven als vertrouwde partner op gebied van gezondheid. Ik ben uiterst tevreden met bloed checkup

JoaquinVerified

“Klantenservice was erg behulpzaam in…”

Klantenservice was erg behulpzaam in het beantwoorden van mijn vragen. Ik had ook een extra setje buizen nodig als back-up en dat was geen probleem. Ik had een groot test panel besteld, maar de resultaten waren binnen 1 week binnen. Rapport zag er netjes uit.

ErnstVerified

“Snelle en goede service”

Je hebt de spullen snel in huis en het is duidelijk wat je daarna moet doen. Ook de uitslag heb je snel in huis, ik dezelfde avond al de eerste uitslagen. Bij een bepaling ging het fout, niet eens door het bedrijf maar door het bloedafname punt en die bepaling kreeg ik gewoon vergoed, ook het geld terug stond erg snel op mijn rekening. Vragen worden ook snel beantwoord dus al met al een positieve ervaring bij Bloedcheckup.nl

“Fijn bedrijf met geweldig veel opties…”

Fijn bedrijf met geweldig veel opties om zelfstandig je gezondheid in het oog te houden, als sporter een must want de dokters hebben toch geen verstand van wat relevant en anders is voor sport. Ook zeer tevreden over Stijn zelf! Aangename kerel en goed bereikbaar voor vragen en hulp tijdens bestellen :D

MyronVerified

“My experience was very positive”

My experience was very positive. I needed to pass several very specific tests. They provide 24/7 customer support. They were friendly and prompt.

Olesia TaldykinaVerified

“Top!”

Snelle en makkelijke afhandeling. Duidelijke instructies en binnen anderhalve dag al resultaat binnen. Top service!

ZerinaVerified

“Amazing service!”

Received a packet with everything needed, went to a walk in clinic (Amsterdam DC Clinic) where my blood was drawn and I was out the door within 5 minutes, and then after posting the samples, received results 2 days later. Results were easy to understand as well. Amazing service, would highly recommend!
