Biological Age Calculator (PhenoAge, Blood Test Based)

How it is calculated

PhenoAge combines nine blood markers and age in the Levine (2018) mortality model, then converts the 10-year mortality score into years.

Test the inputs

The FitScript Baseline panel measures the values this calculator uses. Related: c reactive protein, rdw, albumin.

Common questions

Which blood tests do I need for PhenoAge?

Albumin, creatinine, glucose, CRP, lymphocyte percent, MCV, RDW, alkaline phosphatase and white blood cell count, plus your age.

Is PhenoAge the same as an epigenetic clock?

No. This PhenoAge is calculated from standard blood tests; the same research group also published a DNA methylation version.

Can I lower my biological age result?

The inputs respond to factors like inflammation and glucose control, which is why the score is tracked over time with a clinician rather than read once.
