About the test
The TallyAge Test measures chemical modifications on your DNA called DNA methylation, which is one way that your cells regulate their genes. Given that certain modifications become more or less methylated with age, it is possible to estimate how old someone is through the lens of DNA methylation. Importantly, the test measures sites that not only change with age but also with lifestyle and wellness.
How to Contextualize Your Results
Results from the test are significantly associated with holistic lifestyle and wellness factors, including BMI, smoking, alcohol, social satisfaction, stress, exercise, sleep quality, and diet. This means people who adopt a healthier lifestyle are more likely to have a younger epigenetic age than those that adopt a less healthy lifestyle.
What Makes Our Test Unique?
Our next-generation, non-invasive test was trained on the largest adult, DNA methylation cheek swab commercial dataset ever created. The training cohort included more than 8,000 adults, spanned an impressively wide range of 18-100 years, and was exceptionally diverse. Optimized for both accuracy and reproducibility, our test was uniquely built from the ground up to incorporate DNA methylation sites relevant to age, lifestyle, and wellness.
