Longevity check-up in Berlin measuring what actually matters.

The longevity check-up takes place at the YEARS clinic in Berlin-Charlottenburg, Joachimsthaler Straße 34, just minutes from Kurfürstendamm and Bahnhof Zoo. All diagnostics run at a single location: blood draw, ultrasound, ECG, spiroergometry, MRI and the physician consultation. You do not need to visit any other practice during your diagnostic day.

The diagnostic day takes between 6 and 9 hours depending on the programme. YEARS Core takes around 6 hours, Evolve and Ultimate around 9 hours each. Breakfast and lunch are included, and you can relax in our quiet rooms between examinations. The detailed medical findings consultation follows within a week, often on the same day.

YEARS was founded by physicians and combines classical internal medicine with modern preventive medicine. Unlike pure body-scan offerings such as Neko Health or app-based platforms, we work with a full clinical diagnostic spectrum: 87 to 230+ biomarkers, whole-body MRI using our own screening protocol, spiroergometry, cognitive testing and genetics. Every finding is discussed in person with a specialist physician — no chatbot, no PDF report without a conversation.

No. As a private clinic we do not require a referral. You book directly online and usually receive an appointment within 7 days. The check-up is designed as a self-pay or private-insurance service. Patients with German statutory insurance are equally welcome but pay the amount themselves, as this is not a covered statutory benefit.

Privately insured patients receive a detailed invoice under the German medical fee schedule (Gebührenordnung für Ärzte, GOÄ). Many insurers reimburse a relevant share of the cost, depending on the individual policy. Before your appointment you can ask your insurer whether preventive services under GOÄ are covered. We will help with any questions about the invoice. Full reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on your specific contract.

The optimal window is between 35 and 55. In this period many age-related processes start to become measurable — ApoB, insulin resistance, vascular changes, bone density — while still responding well to intervention. Younger patients with a family history of cardiovascular disease, cancer or neurodegenerative conditions often benefit from their mid-twenties onwards. For patients over 60, the check-up provides a precise baseline for targeted intervention.

An annual or biennial interval makes sense for most patients. Biomarkers change continuously, and only longitudinal data reveals trends reliably. Ultimate patients receive three check-ins per year as part of the programme. For Core and Evolve we recommend an annual follow-up to track changes and adjust the prevention strategy.
