Singapore Introduces Blood Test to Assess Biological Age

Singapore has introduced a blood test tool that estimates a person's biological age. The tool, which was validated across the US and UK populations, provides insights into potential health risks and encourages people to take proactive steps for better health. With Singaporeans living longer, but not necessarily healthier, the focus is shifting from disease treatment to prevention. The tool highlights the importance of healthy habits, such as regular exercise, a plant-based diet, and sufficient sleep, in maintaining good health. The government plans to invest in research and development to strengthen partnerships between researchers, clinicians, and companies to improve people's lives.
