Researchers are developing a blood test known as an organ age test, or proteomics, aimed at informing daily health decisions through personalized data. This test could not only guide individuals in dietary and lifestyle choices, but also assess critical health aspects such as brain aging and kidney function. Cardiologist Eric Topol emphasizes the importance of this test for proactive health management, suggesting it could revolutionize disease prevention. While currently not available to consumers, initiatives like the startup Vero aim to make it accessible in the near future.
When we have all these layers of data, it's a whole new day for preventing the disease. You see the relationship with women's hormones. You see the relationship with food and alcohol. You don't ever get that with genes.
Knowing your oldest organ isn't the point; changing the trajectory is.
