What is the difference between a biomarker and general health indicator?
Biomarkers can be used to determine the biological age of a patient, and are the results of human clinical assessment, and represent a sample with a clear association with ageing. Additionally, they result in a relatively narrow standard deviation, and are supported by multiple complementary research studies. The biomarker research used is between the ages of 30 to 70.General Health Indicators are captured and recorded by the I-M Health system providing information about the general health of the patient. The information gathered can be used to view changes over a period of time, hopefully, showing an improvement in the health of the patient. The indicators may also be used in the future to reveal unseen health trends in the patient.General Health Indicators may not be accurate to help capture the biological age of a patient. However, general health indicators are known markers of some disease and disorder, and therefore should be captured and recorded for future reference.
