<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-spotlight-on-biological-age">Spotlight on Biological Age</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="96" height="96" src="https://blog-api.23andme.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/image-1.png" alt="" class="wp-image-33713"/></figure>



<p>If you’re a member of 23andMe+ Total Health™, you can already access the Biological Age feature and can see how it changes with your regular, twice a year blood testing. Now other 23andMe customers are able to purchase the lab test that powers this feature and see their biological age as well. Your biological age is a measure of how your physical health compares to your calendar age. It’s determined using a machine learning model that looks at 13 key biomarkers to estimate how these factors impact your overall health and longevity.</p>



<p>Why does this matter? Because it can give you more insight than just checking if individual biomarkers fall within the “healthy” range. Even if a specific biomarker looks good on its own, how it interacts with others could reveal areas where your health isn’t as optimal as it could be. If your biological age is higher than your actual age, it might be a sign that certain aspects of your health need attention.</p>



<p>Learning about your biological age is a powerful way to understand your overall health and longevity. By understanding which biomarkers are affecting your biological age, you can make more informed decisions about what areas of your health to focus on for the future. You can also monitor your biological age over time as your biomarkers change. Unlike other ways of measuring biological age, we choose this biomarker-based method because your biomarkers change relatively quickly in response to healthy changes you make, letting you see the impact of those changes on your overall health.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-unlock-more-of-your-health-today">Unlock More of Your Health Today</h2>



<p>At 23andMe, we believe that knowing both your genetic and current health status is the key to making smarter, more proactive decisions about your well-being. By offering these blood tests, we’re making it easier than ever for you to stay on top of your health—today and for the years to come!</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-lab-work-works-for-23andme-customers">How lab work works for 23andMe customers</h3>

Health predisposition reports include both reports that meet FDA requirements for genetic health risks and reports which are based on 23andMe research and have not been reviewed by the FDA. The test uses qualitative genotyping to detect select clinically relevant variants in the genomic DNA of adults from saliva for the purpose of reporting and interpreting genetic health risks and reporting carrier status. It is not intended to diagnose any disease. Your ethnicity may affect the relevance of each report and how your genetic health risk results are interpreted. Each genetic health risk report describes if a person has variants associated with a higher risk of developing a disease, but does not describe a person’s overall risk of developing the disease. The test is not intended to tell you anything about your current state of health, or to be used to make medical decisions, including whether or not you should take a medication, how much of a medication you should take, or determine any treatment. Our carrier status reports can be used to determine carrier status, but cannot determine if you have two copies of any genetic variant. These carrier reports are not intended to tell you anything about your risk for developing a disease in the future, the health of your fetus, or your newborn child&#8217;s risk of developing a particular disease later in life. For certain conditions, we provide a single report that includes information on both carrier status and genetic health risk. <strong>Warnings &amp; Limitations:</strong> The 23andMe PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) is indicated for reporting of 44 variants in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. The report describes if a person&#8217;s genetic result is associated with an increased risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer and may be associated with an increased risk for prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and potentially other cancers. The variants included in this report do not represent the majority of the BRCA1/BRCA2 variants in people of most ethnicities. This report does not include variants in other genes linked to hereditary cancers and the absence of variants included in this report does not rule out the presence of other genetic variants that may impact cancer risk. This report is for over-the-counter use by adults over the age of 18, and provides genetic information to inform discussions with a healthcare professional. The PGS test is not a substitute for visits to a healthcare professional for recommended screenings or appropriate follow-up. Results should be confirmed in a clinical setting before taking any medical action.
