Longevity Science & Healthy Aging Certification

The Longevity Science & Healthy Aging Certification is a free beginner-level, 15-minute skill test from Science of Apps. It tests longevity science and healthy aging — lifespan versus healthspan, the hallmarks of aging such as genomic instability, cellular senescence and mitochondrial dysfunction, biological age and epigenetic clocks, the evidence for exercise, strength and cardiorespiratory fitness, nutrition patterns and protein needs, sleep, social connection and purpose, blood pressure, glucose and lipid management, cancer screening and vaccines, cognitive health and dementia risk factors, falls prevention, caloric restriction and fasting research, experimental therapies such as rapamycin, metformin and senolytics, and evaluating hype in the longevity market — written to NIA, WHO, CDC and peer-reviewed research for 2026 and 2027 (educational, not medical advice). Score 70% or more on its 15 questions to earn a verifiable Longevity Science & Healthy Aging certificate (SOA-LSHA). Every question is based on published standards and research — including Healthy aging and the science of aging (US National Institute on Aging), Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans (US Department of Health and Human Services / CDC), 10 Essential Public Health Services (CDC) — and each answer is explained with its source.

Yes. The questions are original scenarios written by Science of Apps, and each one is based on a public source you can read: Healthy aging and the science of aging (US National Institute on Aging); Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans (US Department of Health and Human Services / CDC); 10 Essential Public Health Services (CDC); Healthy diet fact sheet (World Health Organization); UN Decade of Healthy Ageing (World Health Organization); STEADI: Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths and Injuries (CDC). The source is shown under each question and linked in the answer review. Science of Apps doesn't copy questions from other tests.

Three skill areas with five questions each, drawn from a bank of 10 per area so a retake brings new questions: Biology of Aging (Lifespan and healthspan, Hallmarks of aging and Measuring biological age); Lifestyle and Prevention (Exercise and fitness, Nutrition and sleep and Social health); Medical Care and Emerging Science (Risk factors and screening, Brain health and Experimental interventions and hype). Every question is an original scenario written to the 2026–2027 standard, with the published source named under it.

Health-conscious adult interested in aging well, Coach, trainer or wellness professional, Healthcare student or clinician, Caregiver or family member and Longevity or health-tech enthusiast.

Pre-med, public-health and biotech students (Johns Hopkins, Harvard, Karolinska, Oxford, Duke) increasingly enter industry and policy roles. Passing earns a founder-signed Science of Apps certificate with a credential ID and QR code that recruiters can verify.

Lifespan is how long a person lives. Healthspan is the number of years lived in good health, free from serious chronic disease and disability. Many longevity efforts aim to extend healthspan.

Regular physical activity including strength training, not smoking, a mostly whole-food diet, good sleep, social connection and managing blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol have strong evidence for reducing disease and disability.
