Florida clinics are expanding around biological-age testing, offering scans, peptides and customized diet and treatment plans priced from a few hundred dollars to more than $150,000 annually.
University of Miami and University of Florida researchers are studying whether biological age can predict disease risk and whether lifestyle changes can reverse it, including evidence that healthy habits can make the brain appear up to eight years younger.
Commercial at-home blood or saliva tests already cost $200 to $500, but companies, researchers and the US government are still racing to build more accurate biological-age measures, including possible brain-scan-based tests.
Scientists and clinicians say stress, poor sleep, poor nutrition, inactivity and heavy alcohol use can raise biological age, helping fuel demand from even people in their 30s, 40s and 50s for longevity-focused care.
