SYMPHONY Age (TruDiagnostic)
Epigenetic system-level biological age assessment across 11 physiological domains.
Table of contents
Basic data
The SYMPHONY Age test by TruDiagnostic is an advanced epigenetic analysis that estimates biological aging across multiple organ systems. Using DNA methylation data, it models the biological age of 11 distinct physiological domains, including cardiovascular, immune, metabolic, neurological, and endocrine systems.
This multi-system approach allows for a more granular understanding of how different parts of the body age relative to one another. For example, an individual may show a younger cardiovascular age but an older immune age, reflecting specific stressors or lifestyle influences.
Although SYMPHONY Age provides rich contextual data, it is primarily a research and optimization tool rather than a diagnostic instrument. Interpretation requires understanding of systemic aging processes and integration with additional biomarkers.

Multi-system aging profile
Breaks down biological aging across 11 domains, such as cardiovascular, immune, metabolic, and neurological systems.
Personalized longevity insight
Identifies the systems contributing most to overall biological age acceleration, guiding targeted interventions.
Limited standalone value
Results should be interpreted in the context of other biological markers, functional testing, and lifestyle data.
How it works
System-level modeling
Epigenetic signatures correlated with physiological function and disease risk are used to calculate individual system ages.
Aggregation into composite age
The 11 organ system ages are averaged and weighted to provide a summary view of the user’s overall biological profile.
Measures
Cardiovascular System Age
Reflects the biological integrity of vascular and cardiac tissues based on methylation of genes involved in endothelial function and inflammation.
Immune System Age
Indicates immune competence and inflammation balance, capturing changes in adaptive and innate immune pathways.
Metabolic System Age
Represents metabolic flexibility, insulin sensitivity, and mitochondrial regulation as inferred from DNA methylation signatures.
Neurological System Age
Suggests neuroplasticity and resilience of central nervous system pathways, reflecting stress and neuroinflammation.
Endocrine and Hormonal System Age
Models hormonal regulation and balance across thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive axes.
Reliability
Technical reliability
High reproducibility under standardized lab conditions, but inter-system comparisons should be interpreted cautiously.
Biological complexity
System-level scores depend on complex methylation networks that may not directly reflect organ pathology.
Limitations
Limited clinical application
Currently used primarily for research and longevity optimization rather than medical diagnostics.
Model transparency
The proprietary algorithm and weighting methods are not publicly disclosed, limiting independent validation.
Frequency
Suggested cadence
Once per year or as part of a longitudinal study to monitor systemic biological aging trends.
Cost
Typical costs
Around €400–700, depending on whether it is bundled within a full TruAge or TruDiagnostic panel.
Availability
Where available
Provided by TruDiagnostic as part of the TruAge Advanced or Complete Panels, and by partner longevity clinics worldwide.
Preparation
How to prepare
No special preparation required. Avoid testing during acute illness or inflammation for more stable methylation readings.
Interpretation
System ages below chronological age
Indicates slower aging in those domains, often linked to effective lifestyle and metabolic resilience.
System ages above chronological age
Highlights potential areas of physiological stress or early dysfunction requiring targeted attention.
Alternatives
OMICm Age (TruDiagnostic)
Provides a single composite biological age score rather than system-specific data.
DunedinPACE (TruDiagnostic)
Measures the rate of aging rather than system-level biological age, offering complementary insights.
FAQ
What makes SYMPHONY Age different from standard biological age clocks?
It breaks biological age down by organ systems, offering more granular insights into how different parts of the body age over time.
Can this test diagnose organ disease?
No. It’s a research-grade model intended for longevity assessment, not a clinical diagnostic tool.
How can I use this information?
Focus on systems showing higher biological age and apply targeted interventions — such as exercise, nutrition, and stress management — to support systemic rejuvenation.
