This report reads your DNA and sorts every result into one of five plain-language groups, so you can see at a glance what deserves attention and what does not. Nothing here is a diagnosis. A flagged result means your genetics place you above or below the average person for that trait — a reason to ask a question, not a reason to worry.
Longevity & Healthy Aging — Longevity is a fascinating and complex area of study that encompasses not only the length of life but also the quality of life as we age. Genetic factors play a significant role in determining how long we live and how well we age.
These are ordered by how closely they relate to your flagged results — not generic health advice. Marrow does not prescribe, dose, or tell you to take anything. Diet and lifestyle changes are listed first because they are yours to make. Anything you would swallow is listed separately, by name only, as something to raise with a clinician who knows your history and your medications.
Limit red meat to a few times a month and include a moderate amount of dairy products.
Engage in strength training exercises, such as weight lifting or bodyweight exercises, for 60 minutes per session, TA 2 to 3 times per week.
grams per day, spread out over all meals.
Implementing a smoke-free lifestyle involves communicating your needs to family, friends, and coworkers, requesting they respect your choice by smoking away from you.
Incorporate at least 30 minutes of brisk walking into your daily routine, aiming for a minimum of five days a week.
Avoid fried foods, packaged snacks, baked goods, and fast foods, which are common sources of trans fats.
Drink (about 240 milliliters) of 100% pomegranate juice daily, ideally in the morning to incorporate it into your daily routine.
Consider using air purifiers in homes close to agricultural areas to reduce indoor pesticide levels.
These came up in the research behind your flagged results. They are listed by name so you can ask about them. Marrow is not recommending them, and gives no dose. Supplements interact with prescription medication and with each other — that conversation belongs with your clinician.
Of the 29 results in this package, these 5 came back furthest from the population average. Each one below explains what it is, where you sit, and which report it came from. Start here.
Key Takeaways: About 60% of differences in people's chances of having atherosclerosis may be due to genetics Risk factors: being male, high blood pressure and cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, smoking, lack of exercise, poor diet, and age.
Artery hardening begins at a young age and your genetics, lifestyle, diet, and exercise may all impact how much and how fast it develops over the course of your lifetime.
The arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients from the heart to the rest of the body.
The exact cause of prostate cancer is not clearly understood, but several factors have been identified that increase the risk of developing this disease: Age: The risk increases significantly after age 50, and it is most common in men over 65.
Family history: Having a father or brother with prostate cancer more than doubles a man’s risk.
Race/Ethnicity: African-American men have a higher risk of prostate cancer than men of other races.
Named only. Marrow gives no dose and does not recommend these.
The clinical presentation of frailty includes symptoms such as fatigue, muscle weakness, slowed performance, and diminished energy reserves.
Due to its multidimensional nature, the diagnosis of frailty involves a comprehensive assessment of physical capability, nutritional status, and social and psychological functions.
Management strategies for frailty are typically multidisciplinary and can include tailored exercise programs to improve physical function, nutritional interventions to address potential deficiencies or undernutrition, and supportive measures to enhance social support and cognitive stimulation.
Named only. Marrow gives no dose and does not recommend these.
While the exact cause of colorectal cancer is not fully understood, several factors increase the risk of developing this disease: Age: The majority of cases occur in people aged 50 and older, though incidence rates are rising among younger populations.
Family history: Having a family history of colorectal cancer or polyps increases one's risk.
Personal history: Those with a history of inflammatory bowel disease (like Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis), or who have had colorectal cancer or adenomatous polyps before are at higher risk.
The rs2016520 was found to be exceptionally long Chinese people genotype is more above.
However, this Moreover, cholesterol and subjects.
For example, as using fats as the carbohydrates.
Not everything in a genetic report is a warning. These came back protective or better than average.
Mild cognitive decline is a normal part of aging that can affect cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and problem-solving.
About 60-70% of the differences in people’s cognitive decline may come from genetics.
For example, genetically high total and bioavailable testosterone may be causally associated with larger gray matter volume in men [R, R, R].
About 60% of the differences in sarcopenia may be due to genetics.
Some genes associated with muscle growth, repair, and inflammation have been linked to sarcopenia susceptibility.
For example, genetically higher IGF-1 levels may be causally associated with higher muscle mass and a lower risk of muscle loss [R, R].
Exposure to cigarette smoke is by far the main risk factor for lung cancer.
Other factors that may increase the risk include: Exposure to asbestos and other substances Exposure to radon Previous radiation therapy to the chest Family history Treatment for lung cancer usually begins with surgery to remove the tumor.
Treatment might start with chemotherapy and radiation instead depending on factors such as overall health, cancer type and stage, and preferences of the patient.
The remaining results, grouped by what they mean. Every one of these is explained in full — with the genes and variants behind it — in the technical version of this report.
Genetics is a predisposition, not a verdict. The single most useful thing you can do with this document is take it to a clinician and talk through the flagged findings — especially any that line up with symptoms you already have or conditions that run in your family. Nothing here changes: your DNA is the same at 60 as it is today, so this report does not expire.
Genotyping was performed on DNA extracted from a buccal (cheek) swab using a genome-wide array. Results are derived from peer-reviewed genome-wide association data and, where applicable, published clinical guidelines. Each report was scored independently against its own reference set. Percentile figures describe where your result sits relative to a reference population.
This is a laboratory-developed test. It has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Genotyping does not detect all variants in the genes assessed; the absence of a flagged result does not exclude risk. Predisposition is probabilistic and is modified by environment, lifestyle, ancestry and family history. Results must be interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional and must not be used alone to diagnose, treat, or alter any medication regimen. Marrow does not recommend, prescribe, or dose any supplement or medication.
