The more you can learn about your own personal health status, the laboratory parameters that assess disease risk, and the lifestyle modifications and medications that manage and control disease and lower disease risk, the better you will be able to improve your own health and longevity.
Our health report provides you with an estimate of your life expectancy based on the United States National Death Index data. This estimation only reflects how long the average man or woman in the United States lives currently. It does not take into account your current health status, lifestyle, and family history that could increase or decrease your life expectancy.
The current average age at death in the United States is about 77 years for men and about 82 years for women. About 1% of the American population dies each year, due to cardiovascular disease (CVD; including heart disease and stroke); all cancers; lung disease; accidents; dementia; infectious disease; kidney disease; diabetes; suicide; and liver disease.
Our health testing improves the National Death Index estimate of your longevity. It interprets your risk for all top known causes of death in the United States, except lung disease, accidents, and suicide, based on your current health status and your family health history. It also provides you with the opportunity to modify your lifestyle through expert professional coaching based on national recommendations
It is well known that lifestyle medication with dietary change and physical activity, as well as medications, can control health risk factors and have a significant positive effect on your longevity. With identification and treatment of the risk factors of major diseases, many people can extend their lifespan to more than 90 years.
