ADVANCED HEALTH TESTING
TruDiagnostic TruAge PACE test
Pace of ageing / Epigenetics
Discover how fast or slow your body is ageing on a cellular level. The perfect test to track the progress of your lifestyle and health optimisation interventions.
Introducing the TruAge PACE test
Curious to know if your health optimisation protocols are helping or hindering your body at a cellular level? We proudly offer access to the world-class TruDiagnostics TruAge PACE biological rate of ageing test.
In their pace of ageing report, the company uses the exclusively-licensed DunedinPACE algorithm to calculate an individual’s current rate of ageing.

What does this test help me with?
The TruAge PACE test will help you understand how fast or slow your cells are ageing which is impacted by your recent lifestyle, research showing this can be improved in as little as 6 weeks.
The report answers the questions: For each calendar year that passes, how many years is my body actually ageing?
And, how long are my telomeres?
Before age clocks were developed, telomere length was a popular measurement used to predict biological age. Now, it is just one of many significant biomarkers that cumulatively determine bodily ageing.
As our cells age, the telomeres on their chromosomes become shorter and shorter, until the cell can no longer divide and reproduce. This eventually impacts how our tissues, organs, and organ systems function, along with our overall health.

Why we recommend this test
We recommend this test to anyone who may have already completed a biological age test and wish to continue to track progress.
There are many biological age tests on the market and vary from very cheap to very premium. We choose TruDiagnosic tests that use the most advanced methodology, algorithms, and optimal tissue sample – blood.
The algorithm for this test is derived from the ongoing, renowned Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study, which has tracked the lives and ageing patterns of 1,037 individuals born between 1972 and 1973 at Queen Mary Maternity Hospital in Dunedin, New Zealand.
Now in its fifth decade, the study has generated extensive data that informs the understanding of the pace of human ageing and its phenotypic expressions, resulting in the only third-generation ageing technology currently available.

Frequently
Asked
Questions
How do I order a TruAge PACE test kit?
Contact us so we can ensure this is the right test for you, then we’ll set you up as a patient, order and despatch your TruAge PACE test to your nominated address.
You’ll be set up with a patient dashboard that will house additional support on how to take your sample for this test.
We’ll let you know once your TruAge PACE results are back, to make sense of the report, we recommend a Test Interpretation Session.
Is this test for me?
The TruAge PACE test is for you if:
- You have already completed a TruAge Complete and would like to know if your recent healthy lifestyle protocol is helping you age young
- You want to know how quickly you are ageing NOW, as compared to your biological age which shows the cumulative effect of how you have aged up until this point in time
- You consider yourself a health optimiser and have goals to live a long, healthy life
- You feel that having this information will be highly motivating for you to sustain your healthy lifestyle changes
- You are over the age of 18
- And is particularly useful for all adults over the age of 30. For those in middle age or older, biological age testing can be particularly useful for assessing health risks and making informed decisions about lifestyle changes to potentially slow the ageing process
- You are willing and able to commit to making lifestyle changes if necessary to improve your biological age
How do I take a sample for the TruAge PACE ?
This test requires a blood sample. Your sample can be taken conveniently in your own home. A lancet is provided to obtain your blood sample via finger prick.
Read our TruAge Complete preparation guide for more information.
How long do TruAge PACE test results take to come back?
Results for the TruAge PACE are usually back within 5-6 weeks of the lab receiving the test sample. We’ll notify you when your results are back.
Can I retest my pace of ageing?
Yes! Due to the high precision of the DunedinPACE algorithm, which is sensitive to small lifestyle and medical changes, you can retest frequently to monitor changes in their pace of ageing.
By tracking increases or decreases in response to lifestyle, medical, or environmental changes, you can determine which interventions work best for your unique biological makeup.
This is the only pace of ageing test famous biohacker and Blueprint founder Bryan Johnson uses for his global Rejuvenation Olympics leaderboard.
It is recommended to wait three months between tests; however, changes can be reflected in as little as six weeks for some individuals.
Can this test tell me my chronological age?
No. A TruAge PACE test will not tell you your chronological age.
Where can I get a pace of ageing test in Australia?
You can access a biological pace of ageing test through Melbourne Functional Medicine. We’ll contact the lab to organise delivery of the test kit to any Australian postal address. Once your results are in, our team will contact you to arrange an interpretation session.
