Longevity Blood Test Panel
Mar 3, 2026
Longevity Blood Test Panel
A longevity blood test measures the key biomarkers associated with healthy aging—including inflammation (hsCRP), metabolic health (HbA1c, insulin), hormones (DHEA-S, IGF-1), vitamins (D, B12), and emerging markers like homocysteine and ApoB—providing a science-based foundation for optimising not just how long you live, but how well you live. Longevity medicine is no longer science fiction; it's measurable, actionable, and available now.
At Blood Test London, our comprehensive longevity panel costs from £495 with results in 2-3 days. A doctor always reviews every result, providing interpretation focused on healthspan optimisation.
Why Longevity Testing Matters
The goal isn't just to live longer—it's to live better, longer.
Research has identified key biomarkers that predict:
Risk of age-related diseases
Biological age vs chronological age
Areas for targeted intervention
Response to lifestyle changes
Knowing your numbers allows you to act before disease develops.
What Our Longevity Panel Measures
Inflammation Markers (The "Silent Killer")
Chronic low-grade inflammation accelerates every aspect of aging.
Marker | What It Shows | Optimal for Longevity |
|---|---|---|
hsCRP | Systemic inflammation | Below 1.0 mg/L |
Homocysteine | Vascular inflammation | Below 10 μmol/L |
ESR | General inflammation | Low-normal for age |
Metabolic Health
Metabolic dysfunction underlies most age-related diseases.
Marker | What It Shows | Optimal for Longevity |
|---|---|---|
HbA1c | Blood sugar control | Below 5.5% (37 mmol/mol) |
Fasting insulin | Insulin resistance | Below 6 μIU/mL |
Fasting glucose | Blood sugar | 4.0-5.0 mmol/L |
Triglycerides | Metabolic health | Below 1.0 mmol/L |
Triglyceride:HDL ratio | Insulin resistance marker | Below 1.5 |
Cardiovascular Markers
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death.
Marker | What It Shows | Optimal for Longevity |
|---|---|---|
ApoB | LDL particle count | Below 0.8 g/L |
Lp(a) | Genetic CV risk | Below 75 nmol/L |
LDL Cholesterol | "Bad" cholesterol | Below 2.6 mmol/L |
HDL Cholesterol | "Good" cholesterol | Above 1.5 mmol/L |
Hormone Markers
Hormones decline with age—but optimal levels support vitality.
Marker | What It Shows | Notes |
|---|---|---|
DHEA-S | Adrenal/anti-aging hormone | Declines with age |
Free Testosterone | Muscle, energy, cognition | Important for men and women |
Thyroid (TSH, T4, T3) | Metabolism | Often suboptimal |
IGF-1 | Growth hormone marker | Balance is key |
Vitamins & Minerals
Deficiencies accelerate aging and disease.
Marker | Why It Matters | Optimal Level |
|---|---|---|
Vitamin D | Immune, bone, longevity | 100-150 nmol/L |
Vitamin B12 | Nerves, energy, cognition | Above 500 pg/mL |
Ferritin | Iron stores | 50-150 μg/L |
Magnesium | 300+ enzyme reactions | Upper-normal range |
Organ Function
Early detection of decline allows intervention.
Panel | What We Check |
|---|---|
Liver function | ALT, AST, GGT, albumin |
Kidney function | Creatinine, eGFR, urea |
Full blood count | Red cells, white cells, platelets |
The Science of Longevity Optimisation
The Key Pillars
1. Reduce Inflammation
hsCRP below 1.0 associated with significantly lower disease risk
Achievable through diet, exercise, sleep, stress management
2. Optimise Metabolic Health
Insulin sensitivity is perhaps the most important longevity factor
HbA1c below 5.5% and fasting insulin below 6 dramatically reduce disease risk
3. Maintain Hormone Balance
DHEA-S decline correlates with aging—optimising levels may help
Thyroid function affects every cell in the body
4. Eliminate Deficiencies
Vitamin D insufficiency affects 40%+ of UK adults
B12 deficiency causes irreversible nerve damage
5. Protect Cardiovascular System
ApoB is the best predictor of cardiovascular events
Lp(a) identifies genetic risk requiring aggressive management
Who Should Get Longevity Testing?
Health optimisers: Anyone wanting to maximise healthspan
Age 40+: Baseline for proactive aging
Family history: Heart disease, diabetes, dementia, cancer
Biohackers: Data-driven health optimisation
Athletes: Performance and recovery optimisation
Anyone feeling "not quite right": Often early decline is detectable before symptoms

FAQ
What's the difference between longevity testing and a regular health check?
Longevity testing focuses on optimal ranges (not just "normal"), includes advanced markers not typically tested, and interprets results through the lens of healthspan optimisation.
How often should I test?
Annually for monitoring, or 3-6 months after making significant lifestyle changes to track progress.
Can blood tests really predict aging?
Yes—certain biomarkers correlate strongly with biological age and disease risk. They're not the whole picture, but they're an important part.
I'm young—do I need longevity testing?
Establishing baseline values in your 30s-40s allows you to track changes and intervene early when it matters most.
