Organ age matters more than your chronological age: How to determine it?
Research by Ragha Sehgal of Yale University and Morgan Laiven of Altos Labs shows that a person’s internal condition can be assessed using just a small blood sample.

Organs are collective systems of cells, custom-designed for specific functions. The heart facilitates blood circulation, the lungs enable breathing, the liver aids digestion and detoxification, and the kidneys handle purification. This coordination sustains life. Diseases emerge when this rhythm is disrupted. Our chronological age does not reflect the true age of our organs. Organs such as the heart, kidneys, liver, brain, blood vessels, and retina each have their own biological age.
Research by Ragha Sehgal of Yale University and Morgan Laiven of Altos Labs shows that a person’s internal condition can be assessed using just a small blood sample. DNA methylation patterns in the sample can reveal the biological age of the heart, liver, kidneys, brain, immune system, and hormonal system. For instance, the heart score indicates cardiac vulnerability, the brain score correlates with cognitive decline, and the musculoskeletal score is linked to conditions like arthritis. In short, a person aged 50 may have a liver aged 60, a brain aged 40 and an immune system as youthful as a teenager.
If blood vessels are aged:
Reduce salt intake
Manage stress
