Surviving longer and remaining healthier in later life is influenced by many factors beyond classical blood lipids. A growing body of clinical research shows that simple physiological, functional and biochemical markers often outperform single lipid measures for predicting all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Biomarkers, or biological markers, are measurable indicators of a biological state or process in the body. These are health signals that reflect how well different organs, systems or metabolic pathways are functioning. Clinically, biomarkers are useful because they help predict disease risk, monitor how health is changing over time, and often provide early warnings long before symptoms appear. Modern research increasingly shows that certain lifestyle-linked biomarkers offer powerful insight into one’s biological age and long-term survival.
