I-M Health Biomarkers

Aging is a highly individual process which requires the intelligent analysis and interpretation of a wide range of physiological, biological and mental indicators in order to draw reasonable conclusions about the health of the individual. This broad health measurement approach has been adopted by I-M Health, a software package that captures the results from clinical, blood, urine and cognitive tests to determine a biological age for the patient.

The I-M Health system provides a set of markers of aging, ‘biomarkers’, that can be used to measure the biological age of a person. The biological age describes the age of a person relative to others in a sample and provides a comparison to the patients chronological age.

The above figure provides a visulization of Total Cholesterol vs Age, and shows the relationship between the result and age.

The biomarkers captured, recorded and assessed by the I-M Health System are: (Unless marked, biomarkers are for male and female):
