Aubrey Grey, says he doesn't believe the telomere theory is correct, he simply states ageing is the accumulation of error.

When the cells divide, the DNA unwraps itself, aging occurs.
Keeping DNA more stably packed together in our cells, could result in the aging process slowing and possibly reversing.

GlycanAge® is a science-based laboratory analytical test that estimates a person’s biological age and thereby provides information on their health status.
Ageing is a biological process accompanied by numerous changes at the molecular level whose mechanism is still unknown to a large extent. Biological age does not necessarily coincide with chronological age of an individual and this difference is caused by slow or accelerated ageing. Due to this fact, biological age is a better indicator of the general state of health and ageing process than chronological age.
GlycanAge® is a marker of biological age that relies on the glycans of immunoglobulin G.
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is a serum glycoprotein involved in a number of immune response pathways, be it functional such as protection against invading pathogens or dysfunctional such as inflammation and tissue destruction in autoimmune disorders.
Structures of glycans associated to IgG are the basis of GlycanAge® test.
The research performed on over 40.000 individuals worldwide indicated that IgG glycans in people with different diseases resemble premature ageing.
