Which longevity blood test should I choose?

The best test depends on what you want to monitor.

  • For healthy ageing and disease prevention: The Optimal Health Blood Test provides a broad overview of metabolic health, heart health, diabetes risk, nutrition, and organ function. It's ideal if you want to identify potential health risks before symptoms develop.
  • If you're focused on heart health: The Lipoprotein(a) Blood Test or Apolipoprotein Blood Test measures cholesterol and triglycerides to help assess your future cardiovascular health.
  • For monitoring diabetes status: The Diabetes (HbA1c) Blood Test
    checks your average blood sugar levels over the past two to three months.
  • If you're making lifestyle changes: Whether you've lost weight, started exercising, changed your diet, or begun medication such as statins or weight loss injections, repeating the same test every 3–12 months lets you track how your biomarkers change over time.
What are the top 5 biomarkers for life expectancy?

There isn't a single blood test that predicts lifespan, but research consistently links several biomarkers with healthy ageing and long-term disease risk.

Some of the most useful include:

  • HbA1c: Shows your average blood sugar over the past two to three months, helping assess diabetes risk and long-term metabolic health
  • High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP): Measures low-grade inflammation, which can be linked to cardiovascular risk and wider long-term disease risk
  • ApoB:ApoA1 ratio: Gives deeper insight into cholesterol balance and cardiovascular risk than standard cholesterol alone
  • Triglyceride-to-HDL ratio: Helps indicate metabolic health and may offer insight into cardiovascular and insulin-resistance risk
  • Omega-3:6 ratio: Looks at the balance of essential fatty acids involved in heart health, brain health, and inflammation control

    Rather than focusing on one result, it's the overall pattern of biomarkers, together with your lifestyle and medical history, that provides the most meaningful picture.

FAQs

What is the biggest predictor of longevity?

There's no single predictor. Lifespan is influenced by many factors, including cardiovascular health, strength and muscle mass, and social connections. Blood tests help monitor many of the factors you can modify.

Does cancer show up in blood tests?

Blood tests can't diagnose most cancers on their own. However, they may sometimes identify abnormalities that require further investigation. If you're concerned about possible cancer symptoms, you should always seek medical assessment rather than relying on blood testing alone.

What is a blood test liver profile?

A Liver Function Blood Test measures several biomarkers that assess liver health, including liver enzymes and proteins. It can help investigate liver disease, monitor existing conditions, or provide reassurance as part of a wider health screen.

How often should I have a longevity blood test?

Many people choose to test annually as part of a routine health check, while others repeat test specific biomarkers every three to six months when monitoring lifestyle changes or specific health goals.

Can blood tests predict how long I'll live?

Blood tests can't predict lifespan, but they can identify important health markers linked to future disease risk and healthy ageing, helping you make informed decisions about your health.

What's the best blood test for healthy ageing?

A comprehensive health screen that includes cardiovascular, metabolic, liver, kidney, nutritional, and inflammatory biomarkers usually provides the most useful overview for monitoring long-term health and supporting healthy ageing.
