Volo Age Descriptions

Code	Volo Age Health Domain	Type	Description
`Blood`	Blood Age	`number`	Blood age is a metric that estimates the functional age of blood. Blood age increases when biomarker patterns associated with blood health are less favorable and decreases when they are more favorable. Taking steps to improve biomarkers related to your blood age may help reduce the risk of, or impact of, chronic blood diseases including iron deficiency anemia and related anemic conditions.
`Bone`	Bone Age	`number`	Bone Age is a metric that estimates the functional age of the bones. Bone age increases when biomarker patterns associated with bone health are less favorable and decreases when they are more favorable. Taking steps to improve biomarkers related to your bone age may help reduce the risk of, or impact of, chronic bone disease including osteopenia and osteoporosis.
`Dementia`	Brain Age	`number`	Brain Age is a metric that estimates the functional age of the brain. Brain age increases when biomarker patterns associated with brain health are less favorable and decreases when they are more favorable. Taking steps to improve biomarkers related to your brain age may help reduce the risk of, or impact of, chronic brain disease including dementia.
`MACE3`	Cardiovascular Age	`number`	Heart Age is a metric that estimates the functional age of the heart. Heart age increases when biomarker patterns associated with cardiovascular health are less favorable and decreases when they are more favorable. Taking steps to improve biomarkers related to your heart age may help reduce the risk of, or impact of, chronic cardiovascular disease including heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular death.
`Inflammation`	Inflammation Age	`number`	Inflammation Age is a metric that estimates the functional age of inflammatory systems. Inflammation age increases when biomarker patterns associated with inflammation health are less favorable and decreases when they are more favorable. Taking steps to improve biomarkers related to your inflammation age may help reduce the risk of, or impact of, chronic inflammation related disease.
`ARD`	Kidney Age	`number`	Kidney Age is a metric that estimates the functional age of the kidneys. Kidney age increases when biomarker patterns associated with renal health are less favorable and decreases when they are more favorable. Taking steps to improve biomarkers related to your kidney age may help reduce the risk of, or impact of, chronic kidney disease including renal failure.
`Liver`	Liver Age	`number`	Liver Age is a metric that estimates the functional age of the liver. Liver age increases when biomarker patterns associated with liver health are less favorable and decreases when they are more favorable. Taking steps to improve biomarkers related to your liver age may help reduce the risk of, or impact of, chronic liver disease including hepatitis and cirrhosis.
`Mortality`	Longevity Age	`number`	Longevity age is a wellness indicator comparing your overall health profile to what is identified at different ages and expresses it as an "age". Comparatively, chronological age is the number of years since birth. If your biomarkers are less favorable, your longevity age will increase, and if your biomarkers are more favorable, your longevity age will decrease. A higher longevity age compared to chronological age suggests opportunities to improve lifestyle and habits to prevent chronic disease.
`COPD`	Lung Age	`number`	Lung Age is a metric that estimates the functional age of the lungs. Lung age increases when biomarker patterns associated with respiratory health are less favorable and decreases when they are more favorable. Taking steps to improve biomarkers related to your lung age may help reduce the risk of, or impact of, chronic respiratory disease including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
`T2D`	Metabolic Age	`number`	Metabolic Age is a metric that estimates the functional age of your metabolic system. Metabolic age increases when biomarker patterns associated with metabolic health are less favorable and decreases when they are more favorable. Taking steps to improve biomarkers related to your metabolic age may help reduce the risk of, or impact of, chronic metabolic disease including type 2 diabetes.
`Thyroid`	Thyroid Age	`number`	Thyroid Age is a metric that estimates the functional age of the thyroids. Thyroid age increases when biomarker patterns associated with thyroid health are less favorable and decreases when they are more favorable. Taking steps to improve biomarkers related to your thyroid age may help reduce the risk of, or impact of, chronic thyroid disease including hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
