Longevity Biomarkers

Optimal vs. Standard Labs

Compare your blood work against proactive longevity targets rather than standard lab cutoffs.

Fitness at Age 90 (Centenarian Decathlon)

Projects your VO₂ max and grip strength to age 90 to show the reserve you need today to stay active and independent into old age.

Biomarker Scorecard

Marker-by-marker breakdown with optimal targets, inline quick-entry, and evidence-based ways to improve.

Heart & Cholesterol

Apolipoprotein B (ApoB)

Standard-Normal (Suboptimal)

Optimal< 60 mg/dL

Std lab: < 100 mg/dL (ESC/EAS)

Reduce by 29 mg/dL to reach < 60 mg/dL proactive longevity target

LDL Cholesterol (LDL-C)

Fallback
Standard-Normal (Suboptimal)

Optimal< 70 mg/dL

Std lab: < 100 mg/dL (ESC/EAS)

Reduce by 29 mg/dL to reach < 70 mg/dL longevity target

Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)]

Untested

Optimal< 75 nmol/L

Std lab: < 125 nmol/L cutoff

Measured once in adulthood to rule out inherited lipoprotein(a) risk (valid fasting or non-fasting).

Fasting Triglycerides

Standard-Normal (Suboptimal)

Optimal< 80 mg/dL

Std lab: < 150 mg/dL (ACC/ESC)

Reduce by 33 mg/dL to reach < 80 mg/dL optimal target

Blood Sugar & Metabolism

Fasting Glucose

Standard-Normal (High-Normal)

Optimal70–85 mg/dL

Std lab: 70–99 mg/dL (ADA)

Reduce by 6 mg/dL to reach 70–85 mg/dL optimal band

Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)

Standard-Normal (Suboptimal)

Optimal< 5.4%

Std lab: < 5.7% (ADA)

Reduce by 0.2% to reach < 5.4% optimal target

Fasting Insulin

Standard-Normal (Early Insulin Resistance)

Optimal≤ 6.0 µIU/mL

Std lab: < 15.0 µIU/mL

Reduce by 3.7 µIU/mL to reach ≤ 6.0 µIU/mL optimal target

HOMA-IR (Insulin Resistance Index)

Auto
Standard-Normal (Early Resistance)

Optimal< 1.0

Std lab: < 2.5

Reduce by 1.12 to reach < 1.0 optimal index

Inflammation & Blood Pressure

High-Sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP)

Longevity Optimal

Optimal< 1.0 mg/L (Ideal < 0.5)

Std lab: < 3.0 mg/L (AHA)

Low inflammatory risk (< 1.0 mg/L optimal threshold)

Resting Blood Pressure

Longevity Optimal

Optimal< 120/80 mmHg

Std lab: < 130/80 mmHg (ACC/AHA)

Systolic114 mmHg
Diastolic74 mmHg
Optimal resting blood pressure (114/74 mmHg < 120/80)

Fitness & Strength

VO₂ Max (Age 42 M Target)

Standard Reserve (Below Age-90 Target)

Optimal≥ 45.5 mL/kg/min

Std lab: ≥ 36.2 mL/kg/min

Build by +5.0 mL/kg/min to reach your 45.5 mL/kg/min longevity target

Grip Strength (Age 42 M Target)

Optional

Optimal≥ 52.2 kg (115 lbs)

Std lab: ≥ 27 kg / 60 lbs (EWGSOP2)

Target ≥ 52.2 kg (115 lbs) for a 42-year-old male.

Next: 40–49 training split (315 min/wk), 111g/d protein dosing, sleep recovery & evidence guardrails.
