Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. After consulting your physician, you can book additional examinations. If you would like a more detailed picture, you can also upgrade to the Ultimate program.

Yes. For the blood draw and the glucose test you need to arrive fasted, for at least 12 hours before your appointment.

YEARS offers deeper and more precise diagnostics with a far larger number of examinations than a typical check-up at your family doctor. What matters is how this data is connected: by bringing different measurements together, we recognize patterns and relationships that individual standard tests often miss. This makes it possible to identify risks earlier and to reach better-founded diagnoses.

Simply book online through the YEARS website.

You go through the first results with your physician on the day of your appointment. The full evaluation of the laboratory values follows after one to two weeks. Genetics, liquid biopsy and specialist laboratory tests take longer and are discussed in a strategy consultation, usually two to three weeks after your appointment.

This is decided individually together with your physician. Usually, once a year is enough.

The recommendations are fully personalized. They are based on your findings, your biomarker profile and your health goals, and with Ultimate also on the genetic analysis. Every measure is matched to your personal profile. In the check-ins, once a year with Evolve and three times a year with Ultimate, your strategy is reviewed and adjusted.

YEARS uses state-of-the-art security standards to protect genetic data. All analyses are carried out in certified laboratories with strict data protection controls. The data is stored encrypted and used exclusively for your personal health assessment. Access by third parties is ruled out.

Yes. For people with existing conditions in particular, the Core program can provide new insights through its number of examinations and by bringing the data points together.

Yes. The Core program helps you understand your health early and maintain it over the long term. Young, healthy people benefit from a personal health benchmark as a reference point for the future. This makes it possible to detect changes with age early and take targeted action.

In some cases, yes: depending on your plan, Core may be reimbursed up to 100%. Whether and how much your private health insurance covers depends on the insurer and your plan. We bill according to the German medical fee schedule (GOÄ) and give you the invoices to submit.

Ultimate includes everything in Evolve, including the whole-body MRI and liquid biopsy, and adds four areas: medical genomics (exome and genome sequencing with an evaluation of more than 170 risk genes, plus pharmacogenetics), epigenetics, microbiome analysis and experimental longevity markers. The number of laboratory biomarkers rises from 120 to 230.

It also comes with more care: three check-ins a year instead of one, a dedicated health manager as your point of contact, and concierge services to coordinate follow-up appointments.

Please bring your sportswear, a towel and any relevant medical records.

At YEARS, our goal is to research aging and the development of age-related diseases, and to help clients extend their healthy lifespan.

Through advanced tests and analyses, we give you a comprehensive view of your body, from organ function and overall body composition to state-of-the-art biomarkers. Based on this extensive data, we identify the most effective lifestyle and medical measures to improve your health. By continuously monitoring your progress, we keep refining our recommendations for the best possible results and long-term well-being.

YEARS has developed a model that systematically records and evaluates the biggest risk factors for premature mortality as well as key health parameters. This approach makes it possible to detect risks early and counter them in a targeted way, with the aim of identifying diseases as early as possible and initiating effective preventive measures.

The Core program offers a holistic health analysis that detects key health risks early. The examinations include:

Detailed laboratory analysis

Extended blood and urine profile with 87 biomarkers to assess organ function, metabolism, inflammation and cardiovascular health.
Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) to analyze glucose metabolism and detect diabetes risk early.

Cardiovascular diagnostics

ECG at rest and under exercise, heart rate variability for stress analysis, and continuous blood pressure monitoring.
High-resolution ultrasound of the heart, abdominal organs, thyroid and blood vessels.

Lung function and respiratory analysis

Comprehensive lung function tests, including body plethysmography, respiratory muscle strength, gas exchange and blood gas analysis.

Whole-body analysis

3D body scan for posture assessment, body composition analysis and long-term tracking.
AI-assisted retinal imaging for the early detection of vascular and metabolic diseases.
AI-assisted skin screening with the FotoFinder ATBM Master for high-precision early detection of skin changes and skin cancer risk.

Performance diagnostics

Tests of strength, balance and mobility
VO2max, metabolic and endurance tests

Neurocognitive and mental health

Detailed cognitive function tests
Mental health analysis beyond the usual stress markers
Early detection of neurodegenerative risk

Sensory perception

Vision test for the early detection of visual impairments
Audiometric hearing test to assess hearing function

Bone density

Heel ultrasound to assess bone health and osteoporosis risk

Personal medical consultation

Comprehensive medical consultation (1 hour) to discuss your health data in detail
First results on the day of your examination
Detailed analysis of all laboratory values after 1–2 weeks
Individual recommendations and a health plan

Any adult (over 18) who wants to actively monitor and improve their health, whether for prevention or to optimize performance and longevity.

Ultimate costs €16,900, Core €1,990. The difference comes from device time, laboratory costs and physician time: whole-body MRI, exome and genome sequencing with an evaluation of more than 170 risk genes, pharmacogenetics, liquid biopsy, epigenetics and microbiome analysis, 230 instead of 87 laboratory biomarkers, and three check-ins over the year.

The honest part: medical genetics is physician-led diagnostics under the German Genetic Diagnostics Act, and pharmacogenetics demonstrably changes medication dosing. Whole-body MRI, liquid biopsy, epigenetics and microbiome analysis, on the other hand, sit at evidence tier 3 in our classification: for people without symptoms their benefit is not proven, and a finding from them does not trigger treatment at YEARS. So the extra cost buys diagnostic depth and data over time, not more proven predictive value.

If you want to find out where you stand for the first time, Core is the right choice. It contains the guideline-based part: blood pressure, ApoB, Lp(a), HbA1c, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, and heart and vascular ultrasound.
