What if you could tell how long – and how well – you\u2019re likely to live simply by looking at your blood? Modern longevity science suggests exactly that. A handful of powerful biomarkers <\/a>can reveal how fast you\u2019re ageing at the cellular level, how healthy your arteries are, and how resilient your metabolism <\/a>remains – offering a clearer picture of both your lifespan and health-span than genetics or supplements alone.<\/p>\n

Dr Vassily Eliopoulos – a longevity expert with an MD from Cornell University and Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Longevity Health, widely known as Dr Vass – has outlined five key biomarkers that can predict both lifespan and health-span, tracking cellular ageing, cardiovascular<\/a> health, insulin function and more. In an Instagram post shared on November 30, the longevity specialist highlights, \u201cMost people think longevity is about supplements and genetics, but the truth is, it\u2019s measurable right now through your blood. There are five biomarkers that can predict not just how long you\u2019ll live, but how well.\u201d<\/p>\n

1. ApoB (Apolipoprotein B)<\/p>\n

Dr Vass considers ApoB the single most important blood marker for cardiovascular disease, which is even more reliable than LDL. High ApoB indicates higher concentration of plaque-forming particles which points towards a shorter health-span. The longevity specialist recommends keeping ApoB below 80 mg\/dL for better long-term health.<\/p>\n

2. High-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP)<\/p>\n

Dr Vass explains, \u201cThis measures silent inflamamtion<\/a>, the root of ageing, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and more. Even a mild elevation signals oxidative stress and immune activation.\u201d He notes that optimal levels should ideally remain below 1.0 mg\/L. CRP, along with ApoB, tracks how inflamed or damaged your arteries are.<\/p>\n

3. VO\u2082 Max<\/p>\n

This biomarker reflects your body\u2019s ability to use oxygen efficiently and is a strong predictor of all-cause mortality. According to the longevity doctor, \u201cHigher VO\u2082 Max equals longer life, better brain health, and metabolic resilience. The goal is to stay in top 25 percent for your age.\u201d<\/p>\n

4. Fasting insulin<\/p>\n

Fasting insulin is, as Dr Vass notes, \u201cEarly warning sign of metabolic dysfunction, even before glucose spikes. Chronically high insulin drives ageing, fat gain, and cognitive decline.\u201d He states that optimal levels should be between 2 to 5 \u03bcIU\/mL.<\/p>\n

5. GGT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase)<\/p>\n

According to the longevity expert, GGT is a low-level liver enzyme that can predict oxidative stress and mortality risk – quietly tracking both liver health and the hidden oxidative processes that drive ageing. It is an important biomarker which is often overlooked, but elevated GGT correlates with faster ageing. Optimal levels should be between 10 to 25 U\/L.<\/p>\n

Dr Vass emphasises, \u201cThese labs give you real insight into how fast you\u2019re ageing on a cellular level, long before symptoms appear. When you know these numbers, you have a roadmap to reverse early decline and add healthy years to your life.\u201d<\/p>\n
