Biological Age Test – HealthTAV Risk Factors
Have you already taken your biological age test? Have you identified which habits condition your telomeric shortening?
Below, you will find a list of the main factors that affect aging and next to them, links to scientific articles that explain what exactly is the relationship between them and your telomeres and why they are so important if you want to preserve them to keep you healthier for longer.
