How does it work?
You can chose between the following two tests:
Standard Biological Age Test
Determine you client's biological age through a series of physical, and behavioral
assessments. You will receive a full assessment report (view a section of the report)
that clearly identifies priority areas that need addressing. The report also provides
expert health information & advice on health issues and practical guidelines
for behavior change
Clinical Biological Age Test
In addition to all the tests completed in the standard version, the clinical version
gives a more comprehensive assessment of Biological Age by adding metabolic assessments,
such as blood cholesterol, triglycerides (optional), glucose and lung function.
Some extra equipment is required to conduct this version of the test, or you can
refer the client to their doctor to complete these tests.
The Biological Age assessment process covers the following areas:
- Blood Pressure
- Aerobic fitness (VO2Max)
- Clinically relevant body composition (BMI & waist circumference combined)
- Muscular strength and endurance
- Trunk Stability
- Flexibility
- Smoking
- Alcohol Intake
- Nutritional Habits Inventory
- Stress inventory
- Blood testing* - glucose, cholesterol triglycerides
(performed by trainer/practitioner or doctor)
- Lung Function *
*Clinical Version only
The results of each assessment are logged into the software and the biological age is
calculated. You can see for yourself how it works by clicking on demo at left. It's important to know that results
are compared to population norms for each test and a weighting factor is then applied
according to the health importance that each test carries, enabling the individual's
Biological Age to be accurately determined. This makes it the most accurate test
of its type on the market.
What is Biological Age?
|
Ever wondered why some people seem much younger than others of the same age? The
reason is that the ageing process is not pre-determined, but occurs due to the accumulation
of subtle faults in our cells and organs through wear and tear. It is affected by
both our genetics and the lifestyle choices we make. The Biological Age software
is designed to give clients an extensive health assessment that compares their Chronological
Age to their Biological Age. An extensive health report is produced, which provides
advice on how to alter lifestyle to enhance longevity and quality of life.
