How do you measure aging?


Medical tests called Biomarkers actually indicate signs of aging at different levels  down to DNA. At the functional level, we test such things as visual accommodation, auditory response, and memory succession. We do a skin biopsy at the cellular level. We test bio-chemicals such as hormones and cholesterol, and DNA is checked for damage to hereditary matter.
