Bryan Johnson shares his DNA-methylation aging test result (0.69) and explains what it means: he ages 251 biological days per calendar year instead of 365. A rate above 1.0 raises seven-year mortality risk by 56%. He proposes a point system where staying up all night costs 15 points and a vegetable-rich diet gains 24, so you can track your biological aging daily.
Do you know how fast your body is aging? A new DNA methylation test can tell you. My most recent result marked my pace of aging at 0.69. This means, generally speaking, for every 365 days I age 251, I get September, October, November, and December for free. But if my speed of aging was 1.4, I would be aging the equivalent of 511 days in one year's time. Even being slightly above an aging rate of 1 biological year per chronological year can increase your risk of death by 56% in the next seven years. With this new speed of aging test, you can imagine a daily calculator for aging points. Getting wasted and staying up all night might mean, say, -15 life points sleeping under your office desk so you can get more work done -5 life points an excellent diet full of vegetables and essential nutrients plus 24 life points.
