New report uses genetic analysis to assess polygenic outcomes associated with healthy period as measurable health markers and provide evidence-based lifestyle habits to help mitigate inherited health risks
CAMBRIDGE, MA, April 10, 2024—(BUSINESS WIRE)–InsideTracker, the leading personalized health analytics and data-driven wellness guide helping people live healthier longer lives, today announced the release of its groundbreaking DNA report, which includes detailed analysis of up to 10 polygenic health span (PGS) scores to help members extend their health span.
The report will include previously unavailable details about members’ genetic risk and potential predispositions to inform their wellness journeys and help assess whether their lifestyle habits are helping them increase their health and overcome genetic risks.
“The InsideTracker DNA Report is a detailed genetic roadmap that helps our users prioritize some of the most important aspects of their health,” said Bartek Nogal, PhD, Chief Scientist and Genomics Team Leader at InsideTracker. “While your genetics may indicate you have certain risks, your lifestyle habits may determine how they actually manifest. By combining genetic variation with critical analysis of blood biomarkers, our platform can help predict your susceptibility to various health traits and how your genes and lifestyle affect your current health.”
InsideTracker DNA Report Key Features:
Discover your genetic predispositions: The report presents genetic risk and potential outcomes as percentiles, allowing members to more accurately assess how they measure up against other users of similar genetic ancestry. By using PGS that use multiple genetic variants instead of conventional single-variant genetic testing methods, the report offers a more comprehensive and balanced analysis of the positive and negative influence that an individual’s unique variations have on certain health traits and complex health factors.
Break down your genetic odds with science: Leveraging Mendelian randomization analysis, InsideTracker’s DNA report provides potential causal relationships between lifestyle factors, genetic elements, and quantifiable biomarkers and behaviors.
Empower yourself with InsideTracker’s DNA report: The report provides intuitive and detailed graphs for members to visualize their genetic data and understand their risk or potential for the health-span characteristics most important to longevity. The assessment allows people to decipher whether lifestyle habits are working for or against them, and the Report offers personalized guidance for long-term lifestyle changes that can help optimize genetic potential and improve risks.
This report expands on InsideTracker’s previously announced genetic insights focused on Healthspan. Learn more about unlocking genetic potential and taking control of your health with InsideTracker’s DNA report here.
