AGEs Measurement (Track Biological Aging Beyond Chronological Age)

· Those in Tokyo looking for quick and non-invasive health screening.
· Those with high blood sugar levels or concerns about diabetes risk.
· Those with family history of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or metabolic disorders.
· Those who want to track their biological age compared to their actual age.
· Those who wish to monitor the effects of diet changes or exercise routines.

AGEs Measurement is a non-invasive medical test used to evaluate the level of Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) accumulated in the body. AGEs are harmful compounds formed when sugars react with proteins or fats through a process known as glycation. This reaction occurs gradually in the body and increases when blood sugar levels remain elevated or when diet and lifestyle habits include excessive sugar intake, smoking, alcohol consumption, or lack of physical activity. As glycation progresses, AGEs accumulate in tissues, blood vessels, and organs, which can accelerate biological aging and contribute to long-term health concerns. AGEs Measurement provides an estimate of glycation age, which reflects the level of glycation in comparison with chronological age.

AGEs Measurement offers valuable insight into overall metabolic health and aging status. The test helps identify elevated glycation levels that may contribute to conditions such as diabetes, arteriosclerosis, osteoporosis, kidney disease, and neurodegenerative disorders. Early detection of high AGEs levels allows better awareness of internal aging processes and supports preventive health management. Results from AGEs Measurement can encourage healthier lifestyle adjustments related to nutrition, physical activity, and metabolic control. Regular monitoring also supports anti-aging strategies, promotes long-term wellness, and assists the doctor at our affiliated clinic in guiding preventive healthcare approaches aimed at reducing glycation accumulation and maintaining better overall health.

AGEs Measurement begins with consultation by the doctor at our affiliated clinic. During this stage, the doctor reviews medical background, lifestyle habits, and possible risk factors related to glycation such as high sugar intake, smoking, alcohol consumption, or lack of physical activity.

After consultation, AGEs Measurement test is performed using a specialised AGEs reader device. The forearm is gently placed on the scanner, where a safe light signal is emitted to detect fluorescence produced by glycation compounds accumulated in the skin. The device analyses this signal to estimate the level of Advanced Glycation End Products present in body tissues.

Once the measurement is completed, the device generates a glycation age result that indicates the level of AGEs accumulation in comparison with chronological age. The doctor reviews the results and explains their meaning, including possible connections between lifestyle habits and glycation levels.

AGEs Measurement does not involve surgical treatment and therefore does not require recovery time. No pain, discomfort, or downtime is expected after the test, and normal daily activities can be resumed immediately. The quick and convenient nature of the test allows AGEs Measurement to be performed as part of routine health screening or anti-aging assessment.

1. Consultation will be conducted by the doctor.
2. The forearm will be placed on the AGEs reader device for scanning.
3. Light signals will be emitted by the device.
4. AGEs levels will be analysed.
5. Results will be explained by the doctor for analysis.

<Advantages>
· Detects early signs of glycation accumulation associated with aging
· Evaluates internal aging
· Supports preventive health monitoring and anti-aging care
· Encourages healthier lifestyle habits
· Monitors long-term effects of nutrition, exercise, and daily habits
· Promotes better awareness of metabolic health and aging processes

<Limitations>
· Results may be influenced by medications, recent supplement intakes, or dietary changes

· Avoid excessive sugar intake for 1 day before test
· Inform doctor for any medical conditions or ongoing medications
· Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption for 1 to 2 days before test
· Maintain regular sleep and hydration for 2 to 3 days before test
· Keep the skin on the forearm clean and dry on the day of test

Q1: How does AGEs Measurement work?
A1: AGEs Measurement works by using a special device that detects fluorescence from glycation compounds in the skin. AGEs Measurement analyses this signal and estimates the level of AGEs accumulated in body tissues.

Q2: What can AGEs Measurement detect?
A2: AGEs Measurement can detect the level of glycation products accumulated in the body. AGEs Measurement helps indicate potential risks related to aging and metabolic health.

Q3: Does AGEs Measurement require fasting?
A3: No, AGEs Measurement usually does not require fasting. However, AGEs Measurement may provide more consistent results when heavy meals and excessive sugar intake are avoided 1 day beforehand.

Q4: Does AGEs Measurement help improve lifestyle habits?
A4: Yes, AGEs Measurement results may encourage healthier lifestyle choices because the test highlights the impact of diet and habits on aging.

Q5: Does AGEs Measurement affect the skin?
A5: No, AGEs Measurement does not damage the skin because AGEs Measurement only uses harmless light signals to scan the surface.
