Review

Summary
In this review, recent work on human aging and epigenetics suggests that beginning exercise after the fourth decade of life is still important, given the anti-aging effect and health benefits provided, potentially occurring via a delay in telomere shortening and modification of DNA methylation patterns associated with aging. Exercise is among the primary modifiable factors capable of influencing bone health by preserving bone mass and strength, preventing the death of bone cells and anti-aging action provided.

The TeloYears test is not intended for screening, diagnosing, treating or preventing diseases or medical conditions. The TeloYears genetic test may indicate the possibility of identifying a rare telomere syndrome associated with extremely shorter or longer average telomere length (ATL). In these rare cases, further testing and consultation with a doctor to rule in or rule out a telomere syndrome is recommended. The test is available for individuals between the ages of 20 to 80 within the United States, except for the states of Maryland and New York. The information provided by the TeloYears test should not be used to replace medically appropriate screening tests recommended based upon actual age or other risk factors, nor should the information be used to make decisions about diagnosis or treatment of diseases or medical conditions. The Telomere Diagnostics lab is regulated under the Clinical Laboratory improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) as qualified to perform high complexity clinical testing. The performance characteristics of this test were determined by Telomere Diagnostics. It has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
