What can the Longevity DNA Test tell you — and what not?

The Longevity DNA Test analyzes genetic variants linked to aging processes, oxidative stress, inflammation, and telomere length. It can provide hints about theoretical risk profiles, such as reduced antioxidant capacity or increased inflammatory tendency. What it cannot do: It does not reliably predict your actual lifespan, offer a personalized anti-aging regimen, or provide clinically validated actionable recommendations. The underlying evidence is mostly weak (GWAS, mechanistic studies), and many tested SNPs have only small effect sizes. Replication across populations is often lacking. Therefore, results should be considered informative but not medically actionable. Without accompanying biomarkers (e.g., blood values, inflammatory markers), the interpretability remains limited. Caution is warranted against exaggerated claims based on single gene variants. According to current knowledge, a healthy lifestyle (diet, exercise, sleep) has a far greater impact on longevity than most genetic factors.
