London:
A group of scientists proposed a technique to predict how long the rest of your age.
This technique uses a blood test. Like what? This is done by calculating the estimated length of Telomeres, the DNA at the ends of chromosomes. Telomeres may be an important indicator of human aging and acceleration accurately. But no doubt, the implementation of this test could be cause for concern.
Some of the parties concerned, the test results abused drug companies sell anti-aging medicine is untested. In addition, insurance companies can also misuse the results of these tests is to offer protection to customers.
Even so, these tests can provide important information about aging-related diseases, from heart disease to Alzheimer's or cancer. The research team also acknowledges, this technique is already common knowledge.
"However, recent findings of the test is accurate. We could detect the slightest difference in the length of Telomeres, "said Maria Blasco of the Spanish National Cancer Research Center. The technique is fast and easy because of various samples can be analyzed simultaneously.
On the other hand, a graduate of medicine at Harvard Medical School and Nobel Prize winner Carol Greider considered very useful to know the biological age and can be used to change the habits of life. As quoted by ScienceDaily, the test is worth U.S. $ 700 (Rp 6 million).
