What is Your Biological Age?Your biological age is a measure of how well or poorly your body is functioning relative to the optimal physiology achieved during young adulthood. After the age of 30, functional capacity begins to slowly decline. This manifests as slowing metabolism, declining athletic performance and imbalanced hormones. But what if there was a personalized health solution to preserve your functional capacity?

Next Generation Exam

“Health span” is a term that denotes not how long we live, but how long we remain independent, free of disease, and enjoy a good quality of life. The average Canadian spends the last 10 years of their life in sickness. DeerFields’ mission is to preserve our clients’ health span so that they can enjoy the entire length of their life.

Your journey to optimal health begins with our Next Generation Exam. Experience a cutting edge medical exam that at its most basic, surpasses other premium medical exams available in Canada, and at its most advanced, provides a complete under-standing of your biological aging.

What are Telomeres?Similar to the plastic tips on a shoelace, telomeres are small “caps” at the end of our chromosomes that protect our DNA. Our telomeres shorten as we age, but stress, smoking, lack of exercise, poor diet and obesity can cause premature telomere shortening. When telomeres get too short, cells don’t divide properly causing inflammation, cellular aging, and tissue degeneration.

Telomere length is a measure of biological age as compared to chronological age. Numerous scientific studies have proven a strong connection be-tween short telomeres and premature cellular aging. Elizabeth Black-burn’s discovery of telom-erase, the enzyme that replenishes telomeres, won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2009.

Next Generation Exam- Biomarkers

The Next Generation Exam with Biomarkers goes beyond disease risk screening and measures the biological age your cardiovascular system, lungs, cognitive functioning, skin, immune system and telomeres. Taken together, these measures provide a clear picture of how well you are aging.

CardioAge - Arterial ElasticityThe Sphygmocor device measures your central arterial pressure, a much more powerful indicator of health than arm blood pressure. The Sphygmocor provides a measure of the stiffness of you arteries, which lose elasticity over time.

TelomerAge - Telomere Length Telomere length is a powerful biomarker of genetic aging. Shorter telomeres are associated with an increased risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and Alzheimer’s. Telomere shortening can be slowed, stopped, or in some cases, even reversed.

ImmunoAge - Immune FunctionAs we age, our immune function declines. We become more suscep-tible to infections, and cancer rates increase. A sophisticated test at the Immunogenetics Center at UCLA evaluates immune function.

NeuroAge - Cognitive FunctionThe CNS Vital Signs battery of neuropsychological tests assesses the main areas of cognitive function. This test can detect cognitive decline up to 10 years in advance of symptoms.

PulmoAge - Lung FunctionThe values taken from a standard pulmonary function test are mea-sured against a large database to provide a comparison between your lung function and that of age-matched controls to determine how well your lungs are aging.

CutoAge - Skin ElasticityThe Cutometer measures skin elasticity. Skin elasticity is correlated with bone density, and can be improved through BioIdentical Hormone Replacement therapy in women. By detecting suboptimal aging in advance of the onset of symptoms, you have the power to delay or even avoid the onset of chronic illness. The information gathered from the Biomarker testing informs personalized medical and lifestyle plans facilitated through DeerFields Personal Health Programs.
