Biological age corresponds to the chronological age of the body, combined with the accumulated external influences (e.g. air pollution, diet, etc.) on your health. BioAge is an important component of xken health and determines your current health status, expressed in your biological age. The further development of your health (LifeSpeed) and therefore your life expectancy is also determined from the sample.

If your biological age is higher than your age, this is an indication that pathological (disease-related) processes are taking place in your body and shows the urgency of taking appropriate therapeutic measures. Biological age can be changed in both directions! Diseases associated with age are detected, such as fibrosis, which arise from inflammation, including environmental influences and contaminated food. If detected early, you can make changes to your life, adjust your diet and sporting activities or use medication in a targeted manner. The success of appropriate measures can be determined with xken health be checked at regular intervals at any time and your individual therapy adjustments can be made.

Air pollution shortens the biological age of an average 50-year-old by more than 2 years. It can therefore be expected that air pollution has an even greater impact on older people.

In the study* funded by the EU Commission, the developed biological age of 660 participants was examined using proteome analysis to respond to air pollution.

In connection with chronic illnesses, an additional negative impact on biological age and a reduced lifespan can be expected.

The speed of aging can be influenced. Organize your healthy life now!

The component BioHealth covers up to 70% of all causes of illness! Disease-related changes in the heart (HeartRisk) and kidneys (KidneyRisk) recognized in order to treat them successfully in a timely manner. Changes in these organs must be recognized and treated early so that they do not become chronic.
‍
The kidneys and heart are the central organs. Environmental damage and polluted food chains affect the human body, which reacts with inflammation, as a result of which fibrosis forms. This is also the basis of all chronic illnesses. The real dilemma: Chronic diseases have so far only been recognized when organ damage is massively advanced. Then the progression of organ damage can no longer be stopped or slowed down with medication. No medication has an effect on dead cells in the organs; the condition is irreparable. The suffering of the consequences of illness, such as heart attacks, dialysis and early death, can no longer be avoided. Lifespan can be shortened by 20 years or more. Leading doctors and scientists have demonstrated the benefits of the test in a variety of studies.

xken health detects very early on fibrotic changes that lead to heart failure, coronary heart disease or chronic kidney disease and can avert the effects of the diseases, i.e. organ damage, through timely, targeted therapies.

Cell repair and renewal processes are constantly taking place in your body. When your body is healthy and in balance, errors are usually identified and corrected. Disturbances such as inflammatory processes caused by environmental pollution, etc. can upset this balance, with possible consequences: uncontrolled growth of the cells!

OncoRisk detects these changes at the protein level, which often precede tumors. Then the basis of cancer must be removed through lifestyle changes, such as changes in diet, etc.

For most types of cancer, only a few are aggressive and uncontrollable. Nevertheless, the cancer can be localized and has manifested itself in an organ. Proteome analysis also provides precise diagnostics via the proteome, even for particularly common types of cancer, as part of this health test for bladder and prostate cancer.
