About this study

This cohort study is designed on the basis of Body Age tests, executed by a private Danish health care company in the period from 2010 to 2013.

The dataset comprises pre- and post Body Age tests from >4000 individuals. They used a standardised protocol and educated staff ( physiotherapists or with a degree in sports science) to carry out the tests. Body Age tests apply biometrics, fitness level and health status data of the employee. The test results are characterized by a Body Age score, which defines the employee's biological age (in years).

This design categorises as a register study why The Danish National Committee is not applied for.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Biological Age

    Time frame: The Biological Age is calculated at baseline and at one year follow up

    An algorithm calculates Biological Age, using physiological parameters and biomarkers measured during the test.

Secondary outcomes

  1. BMI

    Time frame: Measured at baseline and at one year follow up

    BodyMassIndex is a major risk factor for developing lifestyle related diseases.

  2. Bodyweight

    Time frame: Measured at baseline and at one year follow up

    The weight in kilograms of each individual

  3. FM

    Time frame: Measured at baseline and at one year follow up

    Fat Mass is important to look at isolated in reference to whole bodyweight

  4. FFM

    Time frame: Measured at baseline and at one year follow up

    Fat Free Mass is important to look at isolated in reference to Whole bodyweight

  5. BP

    Time frame: Measured at baseline and at one year follow up

    Bloodpressure as a result from systolic and diastolic bloodpressure

  6. VO2max

    Time frame: Measured at baseline and at one year follow up

    Maximal Oxygen consumption

  7. BG

    Time frame: Measured at baseline and at one year follow up

    Blood Glucose

  8. HDL

    Time frame: Measured at baseline and at one year follow up

    High Density Lipoprotein

  9. LDL

    Time frame: Measured at baseline and at one year follow up

    Low Density Lipoprotein
