In general, the evidence for nutrigenetic tests targeting fitness and longevity is mixed: some markers (e.g., for lactose intolerance or certain vitamin needs) are well-supported, but many 'fitness genes' (such as ACTN3, PPARGC1A) show only weak associations with athletic performance or aging processes. Most of these tests rely on GWAS data with small effect sizes and have not been validated in randomized intervention trials. Moreover, longitudinal data on actual lifespan extension are lacking. A standalone DNA test cannot assess current biomarkers (e.g., inflammation, hormone levels) that are more directly relevant to longevity. Results should be considered exploratory, not diagnostic.
