Who can see your record, what survives account deletion, and why the link you give a doctor expires.

There are many estimates of biological age and they disagree with each other. What to do about it, and what to watch instead.

A red-blood-cell measure of EPA+DHA that tracks with all-cause mortality — and responds to what you eat.

The stress response is a survival tool built for short bursts. Left switched on for months and years, it turns from protective to corrosive — and the wear-and-tear shows up in how you age.

Low vitamin D is genuinely common and associated with worse health — yet large trials show that supplementing people who are already replete does little. The nuance is the whole point.

Two blood-sugar numbers — a fasting snapshot and a three-month average — reveal how well your metabolism is coping, often years before anything is labelled 'diabetes.'

Blood lipids are not just a correlate of heart disease — the ApoB-carrying particles causally build arterial plaque over a lifetime. Here is what LDL, HDL, triglycerides and ApoB actually mean.

Acute inflammation heals you; chronic, low-grade inflammation slowly wears you down. It rises with age — 'inflammaging' — and a simple blood marker, hs-CRP, offers a window onto it.

You can measure it with a tape and a moment of arithmetic: divide your waist by your height. It captures something BMI misses — where your body stores fat, which matters more than how much.

Blood pressure is one of the few longevity markers you can check in two minutes — and one of the most consequential. It usually causes no symptoms while it quietly ages your arteries.

Muscle is not just for movement — it is a metabolic reserve the body draws on in illness and age. From about your thirties it slowly shrinks, and how much you keep tracks with long-term health.

Sleep is not downtime — it is when the body and brain run essential maintenance. Across large studies, both too little and too much sleep track with worse long-term health.
