Glossary

Key terms explained clearly — so health markers become easier to understand.

Here you can find central terms related to biomarkers, supplements, longevity and healthy aging. Each explanation is short, clear and connected to useful next topics.

Open terms directly

ApoB

Topic: Cardiovascular

ApoB reflects the number of certain blood lipid particles that can be relevant for cardiovascular risk.

Biomarker

Topic: Basics

A measurable health signal from blood, wearables, or other tests. Biomarkers help interpret areas such as inflammation, metabolism, or cardiovascular risk.

Evidence level

Topic: Interpretation

Evidence level describes how strongly a statement is supported by scientific research. Higher evidence means stronger study support.

Fasting insulin

Topic: Metabolism

Fasting insulin shows how much insulin the body needs while fasting. Higher values can be an early signal of insulin resistance.

HbA1c

Topic: Metabolism

HbA1c reflects average blood glucose over several weeks and helps interpret glucose metabolism and diabetes risk.

Healthspan

Topic: Longevity

Healthspan describes the period of life spent in good health and function. It is often more important for healthy aging than lifespan alone.

hs-CRP

Topic: Inflammation

hs-CRP is a blood marker for low-grade inflammation. It helps interpret inflammatory activity in the body.

Inflammation

Topic: Immune system

Inflammation is an immune response. Chronic low-grade inflammation can matter for healthy aging and prevention.

Longevity

Topic: Basics

Longevity means not only living longer, but staying healthy, functional, and independent for as long as possible.

Micronutrients

Topic: Nutrition

Micronutrients are vitamins, minerals, and trace elements the body needs in small amounts.

Omega-3

Topic: Supplement

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fats. They are relevant for cardiovascular health, inflammation regulation, and brain function.

Continue learning

Triglycerides

Topic: Metabolism

Triglycerides are blood fats. Higher levels can be connected to metabolic problems, fatty liver, or cardiovascular risk.

25-OH vitamin D

Topic: Micronutrients

25-OH vitamin D is the main blood marker used to assess vitamin D status.

Do not just learn terms — understand connections

A glossary is the starting point. It becomes truly useful when terms are connected with lab markers, health areas and personal questions.

Understood the term?

Now connect the term with real values.

Definitions help you start. The next step is interpretation in context with your data and goal.
