AGEs Measurement (Track The True Age of Your Body)

· Those in Tokyo interested in checking aging risk.
· Those who want to monitor lifestyle effects.
· Those who want to detect glycation-related issues.
· Those who wish to prevent age-related diseases.
· Those who wish to track sugar and habit impact.

AGEs Measurement is a non-invasive test that assesses the level of Advanced Glycation End-Products accumulated in the body. AGEs are harmful compounds formed when sugars bind to proteins or fats through a process called glycation. This buildup is influenced by factors like high blood sugar, poor diet, smoking, alcohol, and aging.

By measuring AGEs using a device called an AGEs Reader, it becomes possible to evaluate the body’s internal aging state and the risk of conditions such as diabetes, arteriosclerosis, osteoporosis, and neurodegenerative diseases. This test is valuable in preventive medicine and anti-aging care, helping to guide healthier lifestyle choices.

AGEs Measurement is performed using a device called an AGEs Reader, which non-invasively scans the skin – usually on the forearm – using light-based fluorescence technology. When the skin is exposed to specific wavelengths of light, AGEs in the tissue emit fluorescence. The device detects and analyzes this fluorescence to estimate the level of AGEs accumulated in the body. The process is quick, painless, and does not require blood samples, providing an immediate indication of glycation-related aging and health risks.

1. Consultation and assessment will be conducted.
2. The patient’s forearm will be placed on the AGEs Reader device.
3. The device emits light to scan the skin surface.
4. Fluorescence response will be measured.
5. AGEs levels will be calculated.
6. Post-care instructions will be provided.

<Advantages>
· Quick procedure
· Non-invasive test
· Provides immediate results
· Helps assess risks of aging and diseases
· Improves health span
· Enhances personalized medicine

<Limitations>
· This test only measures skin AGEs levels, not total body AGEs levels
· Results may be slightly influenced by skin tone or thickness

Q1: What are AGEs?
A1: AGEs, or Advanced Glycation End Products, are harmful substances formed when sugars bind to proteins or fats in the body. They contribute to aging and may cause issues such as wrinkles, joint pain, memory decline, and increased risk of chronic diseases.

Q2: What can you learn by measuring AGEs?
A2: Measuring AGEs reveals the extent of glycation in the body. Lower AGEs levels are often associated with healthier aging and a reduced risk of lifestyle-related diseases.

Q3: What is glycation in the body?
A3: Glycation is a process where excess dietary sugars bind to cells and proteins, leading to cellular damage. This can affect skin appearance – causing wrinkles and discoloration – and impact organs, contributing to various health conditions.

Q4: What causes AGEs to increase?
A4: High sugar intake, smoking, alcohol consumption, lack of exercise, and irregular lifestyle habits all contribute to the formation and buildup of AGEs.

Q5: How can I reduce AGEs?
A5: AGEs can be reduced by eating a balanced, low-sugar diet, exercising regularly, avoiding smoking and excess alcohol, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
