The New York Times recently published an article about tests which measure your true biological age - SpectraCell's Telomere Analysis being one of them. This test has been commercially available to the public and physicians since 2009.
Within the article, it mentions skeptics who doubt the usefulness of this type of genetic test. Otto Schaefer, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at SpectraCell, says the results should be seen , "...as a kind of wake-up call for the patient and the clinician to say, 'You know, you're on a rapidly aging path,' "
SpectraCell believes with these test results, therapies should be directed at slowing the loss of telomere length to slow aging and age-related diseases. Nutritional and lifestyle modifications and the control of all coronary heart disease risk factors should be considered as well as possible pharmacologic treatments.
