    DNA-based analysis of your genetic baseline in longevity-associated genes.

    • DNA test using a buccal swabThe Longevity Gene Test kit is designed for straightforward sample collection at home. To perform the test, a buccal mucosa sample is placed in a sample tube, which is then sent to a specialised German laboratory certified according to ISO 9001:2015 and genetically analysed there.
    • Determination of the genetic baseline in longevity-associated genes
      Longevity-associated genes influence how cells respond to stress, repair damage and regulate metabolic processes. Selected genetic variants in these genes describe an individual biological baseline without determining lifestyle. On this basis, it is possible to assess in which areas protective and repair programmes tend to be more robust and where there may be greater sensitivity to lifestyle and environmental factors—in other words, how the individual's longevity-related systems are fundamentally configured.
    • Analysis of relevant longevity genes
      In the laboratory, selected DNA segments in longevity-associated genes, including SIRT1, FOXO3A, FTO, TP53, TEP1 and APOE, are analysed using established molecular genetic methods. Because the respective genotype is genetically fixed, a one-time analysis is generally sufficient for life. The results classify the personal baseline in areas such as cellular stress response, DNA stability, telomere maintenance, and lipid and brain metabolism.
    • Measurement for your own longevity routine
      Genetic variants do not change over the course of life and therefore form the stable basis on which protective, repair and regulatory mechanisms operate. This is precisely what makes the Longevity Gene Test so interesting: the result shows in which areas these processes tend to be more robust and where it may be useful to pay particular attention to lifestyle, nutrition and micronutrient intake.
    • Medical consultation and detailed report with classification
      Following the preliminary consultation, receipt of the sample and laboratory analysis, the Longevity Report is available after approximately three weeks. The report combines the results for each gene examined into an individual profile, including function, individual genotype and a traffic-light assessment. On request, the report can be discussed and interpreted in a medical consultation in the context of the individual's personal situation.

    Understanding the Longevity Gene Test

    “Longevity genes” is a collective term for genes whose variants, such as single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), have been associated in scientific research with biological processes that may potentially influence ageing, cellular function and metabolism.

    Studies worldwide investigate how certain genetic variants—for example in FOXO3, SIRT1 or APOE—are associated with ageing processes and healthy longevity.

    Genes involved in cellular repair, energy metabolism and stress responses are also examined. Such mechanisms play an important role in maintaining cellular function.

    The term “longevity genes” provides scientific orientation: it refers to genetic variants discussed in research in connection with healthy ageing, but it does not determine an individual lifespan.

    FAQ

    We have the answers

    The Longevity Gene test is a genetic self-test that you can carry out conveniently at home following an initial consultation. You receive a test kit with detailed instructions and take a buccal (inner cheek) swab yourself, which is then sent to a specialist laboratory. 

    The Longevity Gene Test analyzes genetic variants—comparatively stable characteristics of your DNA—associated in research with healthy aging and long-term protective or risk factors. These variants normally do not change during life. The bioAge Test, by contrast, measures epigenetic patterns and blood markers that are influenced by lifestyle and can change over time.

    The test is intended for adults aged 18 and over who want to better understand their genetic predisposition to healthy aging and long-term prevention. It may be particularly relevant for people interested in longevity, prevention and optimizing their lifestyle for a long and healthy life.

    The test kits generally remain usable for several months; you will find the exact best-before date on the packaging. Store the kit in a dry place at room temperature and use it no later than the stated date to ensure sample quality.​ 

    In the test kit you will find everything you need to collect your sample: one or more swabs for the buccal (inner cheek) sample, illustrated step-by-step instructions, labelling stickers and a return package for sending your sample to the laboratory.

    The Longevity Gene test makes a thoughtful gift, for example via our digital Longevity Card gift voucher. The recipient can then select and order the Longevity Gene test themselves and follow the entire process independently. Here you can find the Longevity Card gift voucher. 

    After the initial consultation, you take the buccal swab according to the instructions: rub the swab firmly against the inside of your cheek for the stated time, let it dry briefly and then place it in the tube or transport sleeve provided. You then package everything as described and send the sample to the laboratory using the enclosed return envelope. 

    Please follow the guidance in the package leaflet, particularly regarding eating, drinking, smoking or brushing your teeth before collecting the sample. As a rule, for a defined period beforehand you should not eat or drink anything (except water), should not smoke, should not use chewing gum or sweets, and should not touch the swab with your fingers or other surfaces. 

    Yes. Intensive oral hygiene immediately before sample collection can change the amount of cheek cells available and leave residues of toothpaste or mouthwash in the sample. For at least 30–60 minutes before the buccal swab, you should therefore not brush your teeth, not use mouthwash and not eat, drink (except small amounts of water) or smoke, so that the sample remains as unaltered as possible. 

    You can take the buccal swab at essentially any time of day. Ideally, however, choose a moment during your normal daily routine when you can comfortably observe the recommended intervals from eating, drinking, smoking and brushing your teeth.​ 

    Ideally, send your sample on the day of collection or the next working day, so that transport and storage times are kept as short as possible. If this is not possible, store the sealed sample at room temperature as instructed and send it within a few days. 

    Store the sealed sample in a dry place at room temperature, protected from direct sunlight and large temperature fluctuations. Send it as soon as possible to ensure optimal quality.​ 

    Yes, you can carry out the sample collection together with your doctor if they would like to support you. The test itself remains a self-test, with the sample sent to the specialist laboratory.​ 

    The Longevity Gene test analyses selected genetic variants that studies have associated with healthy ageing, lifespan and age-related processes. The results show which genetic factors are, for you, more likely to be favourable or potentially challenging, and where it may be worthwhile to pay particular attention to preventive strategies and lifestyle factors. 

    The results report presents your genetic variants for key longevity-related genes in a structured format and classifies them into clear categories, for example variants considered neutral, protective or potentially associated with increased risk at population level. It also includes interpretive explanations and general, non-therapeutic guidance on lifestyle areas that may deserve particular attention in consultation with qualified professionals.

    Once your sample reaches the laboratory, the analysis usually takes about 3 weeks. As soon as the report is ready, you will be notified and can view the result on the platform and, if you wish, discuss it with qualified professionals. 

    As this is a genetic test, the underlying hereditary information normally does not change over the course of your life. A Longevity Gene test that has been carried out correctly and can be evaluated therefore usually does not need to be repeated; retesting is only relevant if a sample cannot be evaluated for technical reasons or on the explicit recommendation of your doctor. 

    Your genetic data is processed under pseudonymisation, which means the laboratory works with a sample code rather than your name. The digital results report is provided via a secure platform, and data is processed in line with the applicable data protection and security standards.​ 

    An initial medical consultation is an integral part of the Longevity Gene test and is mandatory before it can be carried out. In this conversation, you and the doctor clarify together whether the test is suitable for your situation, which questions are most important to you and how a potential result would later be interpreted. 

    The consultation is currently conducted in German. Additional languages may be offered in the future; please contact us if you have a specific language requirement.

    An additional medical consultation after the result is not mandatory as standard. You can discuss the result with your treating physician or book a separate longevity consultation in which the findings are explained in detail and possible next steps are discussed.

    If you wish, you can also book a Longevity consultation. Here, your genetic test results are placed in the broader context of your lifestyle, further biomarkers and a long-term prevention and longevity strategy, so that you can plan concrete, practical measures for everyday life.

    Yes, you can also discuss your genetic findings with your GP or with specialist practitioners (for example in cardiology, preventive or anti-ageing medicine). Combining the genetic results with a clinical assessment allows for a well-founded, individual evaluation of your long-term health and prevention strategy.
