Using Biological Age Test
This biological age test is calculated based on the body's ANS (autonomic nervous system) response on paced breathing. This method is backed-up by more then 15 years of scientific research, our scientists used it to evaluate the risk of myocardial infarction and overall health condition of the body. Years ago only professional doctors or scientists could perform this test, now anybody having computer can do this test in 1 minute time. The device is the same that is being used for education and research in dozens of Universities in USA and Europe, including Stanford School of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, The University of Tokyo and many others.
Biological Age Test takes only 1 minute. Device that is attached to your ear-clip or placed on a finger will be monitoring your body and send all data to your computer where it'd be analyzed. During that time you'll be asked to breathe following the on-screen pacer as deeply as you can.
Biological Age Test in action. To perform the test, follow step-by-step on-screen instructions. You'll be asked to sit down comfortably near your computer, attach the ear-clip on your ear lobe (or finger-tip device can be used instead) and plug-in monitoring device into USB port of your computer.
| Plug-in your device to USB port of your computer: |
Attach ear-clip on your earlobe or a finger |

Start the test and continue deep breathing following on-screen instructions for 1 minute. During that time device analyzes reaction of your body on deep paced breathing. The more sensitive your body is, the better shape you're in. This means that your body is capable to react immediately on changes in internal and external environments, which is a good sign of being younger.
When you're done Biological Age tool compares your results with results from a vast database of healthy individuals of your age group and generates the report. Our experts in anti-aging medicine created this model to calculate all necessary information to help you see how aging process (as well as health improvement procedures like vitamins, antioxidants, rejuvenation procedures, other exercises) affects your body's age. Here are the parameters displayed on the report.
Current Biological Age. This parameter shows you the real age (biological or true age of your body age). If you are taking a good care of yourself don't be surprised to get an encouraging result showing that you are actually 5 years younger than in your passport. But what if this parameter is several years more than your Calendar Age? First of all don't get upset and try our recommendation how to improve real age and remember: you've got an amazing tool to evaluate the effectiveness of whatever you're doing to lower your real age! This tool is Health Reviser's Biological Age Test.
Current Calendar Age. This parameter reflects your current calendar age at the date the assessment was performed.
Biological Age Speed. Do you want to know how fast you're aging? How old biologically you're going to be in 12 calendar months? This parameter shows how many years you'll become older in 1 calendar year with the existing progress you are making, positive or negative. For example, the value "-2" means that if you do not change your lifestyle and/or anti-aging procedures you're taking, in 12 calendar months your biological age will be 2 years lower than it is now! .
Biological Age Tendency. This parameter shows the general biological aging direction and speed. This is a is very important sensitive parameter which is recommended to track on a regular basis to reveal sudden "jumps" in your biological age (accelerated aging) which might be an indicator of coming sickness. In that cases it is recommended to visit a doctor.
Average Biological Age. This is one of the most important parameters. It is showing averaged biological (body) age value for a period of 12 months. Unless user worked on his or her body's biological age with anti-aging procedures in the last month or 2, this parameter is the most accurate representation of the user's biological (real) age. Why average biological age is included in Biological age test report? The reason is simple. Human body is a dynamically changing entity, and even biological age is changing every minute. While calendar age is constantly growing up, biological age may jump up or come down. A good sleep makes biological age to come down while a restless work might move it up in just several hours. That's why it is important to smooth these jumps in represent it in average value to give an idea what is your biological age for this year.
You now have the knowledge and the power to change this situation for the better. From this point on, you have options for improvement, such as changes in your diet, exercise, water consumption, if you smoke – quit, cut back on alcohol consumption, take a multivitamin, lose some weight, etc. As you make changes, you will be able to track your progress with Health Reviser. Seeing the improvements in your reports will give you a feeling of accomplishment and more incentive to continue. Making several changes at once is sometimes overwhelming, so try making one change at a time and track your progress with each change.
Improving Biological Age. Read our recommendations on how to improve biological age:
Biological age - why it is so important to know
Biological Age monitor can help you become younger! The Biological Age test gives you an accurate measure of your true biological age, the direction of your ageing trend (older or younger), as well as the momentum or speed of that trend.
How will this information help you become younger? Using this tool you'll be able to see how your biological (body's) age is affected by weight, exercise habits, diet, stress levels, exposure to cigarette smoke, etc. That helps you determine what you can do to improve the factors that you can control. As you make changes in your lifestyle, Biological Age test will track these changes showing you the improvements in your health and your real biological age. It’s that simple!
Reveal health issues with Biological Age test. It is very important to monitor your Biological Age changes weekly or even more often using Biological Age test tool. Probably, in most cases your biological age would remain stable, but sometimes the age might jump up or down. This is almost never good, and in most cases this is a sign of a serious health issue. However, the tool cannot tell you details on that health issue, so you have to contact your doctor for a thorough health evaluation.
The good side is, however, that you can get the alert early enough (when used at least once a week) to get a good chance of a successful treatment.
Health Reviser's award winning technology incorporates more than 15 years of scientific research and being used by more than 50 educational institutions in USA and Europe, by thousand doctors and researches around the world.
Health Reviser science and Heart Rate Variability
Health Reviser is a health system that is designed to assess information about your health & fitness state based on the information collected by a small device called Pulse Wave Sensor. Health Reviser can detect existence of a health problem or its absense. It does not provide any specifics on found issues or negative trends in people's health.
In order to get that information the Health System analyses the state of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS). ANS is a part of the nervous system that non-voluntarily controls all organs and systems of the body and therefore "knows" if anything there are any problems with any of the organs in the body. The process of assessing the state of the autonomic nervous system is called Heart Rate Variaility.
Pulse Wave Sensor
Health Reviser includes a device called Pulse Wave Sensor and a software that is installed on a computer. The device is used to collect amplitudes for every single heart beat during the assessment period as well as the time interval between each pair of heart beats.
The information collected by the device is being used in Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Analysis which is meant for thorough evaluation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS).
What is Heart Rate Variability Analysis?
The heart rate variability analysis is a powerful tool in assessment of the autonomic function. It is accurate, reliable, reproducible, yet simple to measure and process. The source information for HRV is a continuous beat-by-beat measurement of interbeat intervals. In the last ten years more than 2000 published articles have been written about HRV. HRV has been used as a screening tool in many disease processes. Various medical disciplines are looking at HRV. In diabetes and heart disease it has been proven to be predictive of the likelihood of future events. In 1996, a special task force was formed between the US and European Physiological associations to outline current finds on HRV and set specific standards on using HRV in medical science and future practice. Since then a steady stream of new information and value continues to come out of HRV research.
Why Assessment of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is important?
As you probably know, autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a part of the nervous system that non-voluntarily controls all organs and systems of the body. In case of any changes in the behavior of inner organs, ANS changes its state to allocate resources needed to heal malfunctioning organ. In most cases, ANS is able to normalize the balance and successfully repair inner organs. However, sometimes organism self-healing methods may not help, or take significantly longer and require a special external treatment, which can be food, vitamins, rest, surgery or something else. So, the change of the state of the Autonomic Nervous System can be easily captured by the HRV Analysis. Then, when the state is captured, how do we know whether it is a "good" or a "bad" state?
Using normative database to compare HRV parameters to a baseline
Health Reviser scientists collected huge amount of HRV data from dozens of thousands of healthy individuals of different age and gender which includes the information about different states of the Autonomic Nervous System. It happens that ANS states vary from one individual to another, especially of different age and gender. It is very important to enter the correct personal information in Health Reviser's profile since it is used to match the state of your Autonomic Nervous System to the range of "healthy" states of individuals of your age and gender. Only then you'll get the correct results about your health and fitness.
Health Snapshot sample revealing tumor
For instance, one user who revealed tumor on its early stage of development using Health Reviser's technologies, sent us his health data report, similar to the screenshot you're seeing above. There you can see that tumor caused both sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system decrease their levels, while both levels are still in balance. On the sample screenshot above you can see the declining trend of both calming and activation energies for a period of 13 months. This pattern makes Health Reviser alert the user, recommending him to visit a doctor.
Health Snapshot sample revealing the deficiency of iron
Another example of Health Snapshot report was brought by one of our colleagues. Health Snapshot showed decrease level of parasympathetic activity for a period of several months. Following doctor visit revealed lack of iron is his blood. In more friendly terms, in this case Health Snapshot report showed the level of Calming energy below normal while level of Activation energy was still within its normal ranges within the period of several months.
The Science Behind Biological Age Test
Calculating Biological Age.It’s not a secret that there are lots of ways to calculate biological age. Most known and most popular free methods are questionnaires. When you answer a series of questions about your habits and lifestyle, you’ll get an answer based on what your age should be. Assuming that the questionnaire covers all sides of your wellbeing answered correctly from your side, the physiological input is missing. As an example, your body might be experiencing a lack of a particular vitamin or got a disease on the early stage. The latter lowers your biological age significantly while you can’t feel that yet. And that is not taken into account to report your biological age.Therefore, the result from questionnaire is less likely to be correct.
Biological Age assessment - new method. Being aware of this problem, scientists and academicians from USA and Europe have spent several years on research about the subject of biological ageing. They came up with a simple to use tool that evaluates person’s biological age in 1 minute. This test can be performed at home or a health club that is enrolled into Health Reviser’s wellness program. But how it works?
Biological Age Test - how it works.We mentioned above about the physiological input to assess biological age correctly. This “physiological input” is implemented in Biological Age test.
It’s known that baroreceptor strength is declining with age. The reason is simple: the sensitiveness of the body to any external or internal stimulant makes body easily adaptable to new environment and tells about its strong immunity to fight diseases. Therefore, it was decided to include both ANS and baroreceptor strength analysis into Biological Age test.
Now Biological Age Test is a simple to use tool that can be used at any computer by anybody to assess biological age. Person will get a detailed report containing person’s current biological age, biological age trend and a progress from the last test. It is an essential tool to monitor health condition and reveal some of the hidden health issues of the body.
