Biological Age
VitalMetabolix estimates your biological age based on your VO2 max, fat-burning efficiency, and metabolic rate. According to the American Heart Association, your cardio-respiratory fitness (VO2 max), is the best predictor of how long and well you will live. High fat-burning efficiency is equivalent to high cellular fitness, essential for preventing metabolic dysfunction and weight gain. Lastly, a high metabolic rate is crucial for long-term wellness as it is the most effective shield against weight gain,
the number one driver behind the most dangerous health related issues.
This black dot shows your measured VO2 peak. The dotted lines depict the different categories of your Aerobic Capacity score, i.e. whether your score is excellent or very poor based on your VO2 peak.
What it is
Aerobic Capacity is one of the best predictors of overall wellness since a high oxygen absorption or VO2 peak requires effective operation of all critical organs, namely lungs, heart, cells, and blood. Therefore Aerobic Capacity provides one of the most holistic pictures of every system essential to a long life and athletic performance.
How it is measured
Aerobic Capacity is calculated based on your measured VO2peak, i.e., the maximum amount of oxygen your body can absorb. The higher the VO2peak is, the higher the Aerobic Capacity score.
