What Hildor is, how the scoring works, what data you need,
and why everything is free.
About Hildor
What is Hildor?
+
Hildor is The Age Leaderboard. It is a platform where you measure
your biological age through the proprietary Hildor Age Rank™ scoring system,
join a global leaderboard, and compete with others to get younger.
Think of it as a fitness tracker for aging — except instead of steps, you are racing to
reverse the biological clock.
What is biological age?
+
Your chronological age is how many years since you were born. Your biological age
is how old your body actually is based on its internal health markers. A 45-year-old who exercises
regularly, sleeps well, and has excellent blood work might have a biological age of 37.
A 35-year-old with poor metabolic health might biologically be 42.
Biological age is the number that actually predicts your healthspan — how long you will live
in good health.
What is the Hildor Age Rank™?
+
Hildor Age Rank™ is our proprietary scoring algorithm. It converts your health data
— from lifestyle answers, wearable metrics, and blood biomarkers — into a single score
from 0 to 1000. The higher the score, the younger you are biologically. The algorithm adjusts
for your chronological age, geographic region, and urban environment to ensure fair comparison
across the global network.
Who is behind Hildor?
+
Hildor is operated by Kyklos Entertainment SRL, based in Bologna, Italy.
The founding team includes expertise in epidemiology, software development, and health optimization.
The algorithm is built on decades of peer-reviewed longevity research, including the landmark
Hallmarks of Aging framework and leading epigenetic clock studies.
How is Hildor different from other health apps?
+
Hildor is not a health app. It is The Age Leaderboard. Most health tools give you data
and leave you alone with it. Hildor turns your biological age into a score, puts you on a
leaderboard, and creates a competitive environment where getting younger is a shared goal.
The difference is the network: you measure, compete, and improve alongside thousands of others
around the world.
Cost & Access
Is Hildor free?
+
Yes. All three measurement levels are completely free. The lifestyle interview
(Level 1), wearable device integration (Level 2), and blood biomarker entry (Level 3) cost nothing.
You bring your own data — your answers, your wearable, your blood test results — and we
score it, rank it, and track it over time at no charge.
Will there ever be a paid version?
+
A future premium tier (Level 4) is possible, but the core three levels — lifestyle, wearable, and standard blood biomarkers — will remain free permanently.
Do I need to buy a blood test?
+
Hildor does not sell or provide blood tests. For Level 3, you enter results from a standard
blood panel that you obtain from your own physician or laboratory. In many European countries,
these tests are covered by the national health system. Hildor charges nothing to process
your results.
The Three Levels
What are the three levels?
+
Each level adds more data and increases the accuracy and maximum possible score on the Hildor Age Rank™:
Level 1 — Lifestyle Interview: 10 questions, maximum score 400/1000, approximately 60% accuracy..
Level 2 — Wearable Data: Manual entry of wearable metrics (heart rate, HRV, sleep, activity), maximum score 600/1000, approximately 80% accuracy..
Level 3 — Blood Biomarkers: 6 standard blood markers, maximum score 800/1000, approximately 95% accuracy..
What does Level 1 measure?
+
Level 1 is a 10-question lifestyle interview covering nine evidence-based factors linked to
biological aging: exercise frequency, sleep quality, diet quality, body composition, smoking
status, alcohol consumption, stress levels, chronic conditions, and family longevity. Your
answers are weighted based on peer-reviewed longevity research and adjusted
for your age, geographic region, and urban environment.
What wearable devices work with Level 2?
+
Level 2 data can come from any device that syncs to Apple Health or Google Fit. This includes
Apple Watch, Fitbit, Oura Ring, Whoop, Garmin, Samsung Galaxy Watch, and many others.
The data entry shows heart rate variability, resting heart rate, step counts, sleep patterns,
and activity metrics to replace self-reported data with objective measurements.
What blood biomarkers does Level 3 require?
+
Level 3 uses six standard blood markers that are available from any routine blood panel:
HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin) — long-term blood sugar control
Fasting glucose — metabolic health
Triglycerides — fat metabolism and cardiovascular risk
These markers cover the three pillars of biological aging: metabolic health, cardiovascular risk,
and chronic inflammation.
Why these six biomarkers and not epigenetic testing?
+
Epigenetic tests (DNA methylation clocks) are expensive, require specialised laboratories, and
produce results that most people cannot act on directly. The six biomarkers we use are accessible,
affordable, clinically validated, and directly tied to modifiable lifestyle factors. If your hs-CRP
is high, you can reduce inflammation through diet and exercise. If your HbA1c is elevated, you
can adjust your nutrition. These markers give you a score you can actually improve.
Do I need to complete all three levels?
+
No. You can participate with any level. Level 1 alone gives you a score and a leaderboard position.
Each additional level increases the accuracy and maximum score you can achieve, giving you a
competitive edge. But there is no requirement to go beyond Level 1.
Scoring & Leaderboard
How is my score calculated?
+
Hildor Age Rank™ algorithm processes your data and generate a weighted score. The specific weights and adjustment
factors are proprietary and are not disclosed. The result is a score from 0 to 1000 and an
estimated biological age.
What does a high score mean?
+
A higher score means a younger biological age relative to your chronological age. A score of
750 indicates that your lifestyle, physiological data, and blood markers reflect a body
significantly younger than your passport says. A score of 300 suggests there is substantial
room for improvement.
Why is my maximum score capped at my level?
+
More data means more certainty. Level 1 uses self-reported answers, which limits accuracy to
approximately 60%, so the maximum score is 400. Level 2 adds objective wearable data, raising
accuracy to approximately 80% and the cap to 600. Level 3 adds blood biomarkers for
approximately 95% accuracy and the maximum free-tier score of 800. You are not penalised — you are
simply rewarded for providing more data.
How does the leaderboard work?
+
All members compete on a single leaderboard, regardless of their data level. Different entry procedure generate different level of accuracy and that is visible in the Hildor Age Rank. Score rankings are based
on your Hildor Age Rank™ score. You can view rankings across multiple categories: Global,
By Nation, By City, By Age Group, By Environment, and Most Improved. A small icon indicates
whether a member has interview, wearable or biomarker data.
How often does the score update?
+
Hildor Age Rank™ updates instantly when new data is entered. Every time you retake
the lifestyle interview, enter wearable data, or submit new blood results, your score updates
immediately and the leaderboard reflects the change. This creates a continuous loop:
measure, compete, improve, repeat.
Privacy & Data
What data does Hildor collect?
+
When you take the Level 1 interview, your responses are sent to our servers only to compute
your Hildor Age Rank™ score, then discarded from our infrastructure; only the score
itself is stored. A copy of your responses is also kept locally in your browser so that you
can review them and, if you later create an account, link them to it. When you create an
account, we store your username, email, score, country, city, and chosen data level. We
never sell or share personal data. Full details are in our
Privacy Policy.
Is my health data safe?
+
Your raw health data (interview answers, wearable readings, blood values) is sent to our
servers only to compute your Hildor Age Rank™ score. After scoring, the raw inputs
are discarded from our infrastructure; only the resulting score and minimal metadata
(level, timestamp) are retained. Individual blood values and wearable data streams are
never stored long-term on our servers. The algorithm runs server-side to protect its
proprietary methodology.
Is Hildor GDPR compliant?
+
Yes. Hildor is operated by Kyklos Entertainment SRL, an Italian company subject to EU
data protection regulations. We comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
including data minimisation, right to erasure, data portability, and transparent processing.
See our full Privacy Policy for details.
Science & Accuracy
Is the Hildor Age Rank™ scientifically validated?
+
Hildor Age Rank™ is built on peer-reviewed longevity research, including the Hallmarks
of Aging framework (López-Otín et al., 2013 & 2023), epigenetic clock studies (Horvath,
2013), and decades of caloric restriction and biomarker research. The specific weighting and
algorithm design are proprietary. The index is a scoring tool for comparative ranking within
the network — it is not a clinical diagnostic. See our Science
page for the full research foundation.
Is this a medical product?
+
No. Hildor is not a medical device, diagnostic tool, or substitute for
professional medical advice. Hildor Age Rank™ is an informational score designed for
personal wellness tracking and social competition. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent
any disease. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical decisions.
See our full Medical Disclaimer.
How accurate is the lifestyle interview alone?
+
Level 1 provides an estimated accuracy of approximately 60%. Self-reported data has inherent
limitations — people tend to overestimate exercise and underestimate alcohol consumption,
for example. That is precisely why additional levels exist: wearable data replaces self-reports
with objective measurements, and blood biomarkers provide clinical-grade biological insight.
Level 1 is the starting point, not the destination.
Getting Started
How do I join Hildor?
+
Go to the homepage, choose your level, and get
your score. If you want to appear on the leaderboard and track your progress over time,
create a free account. That is it.
Can I retake the interview?
+
Yes. You can retake the lifestyle interview as many times as you want. Your most recent
submission is the one that counts for your score. Retest anytime your habits
change.
Can I improve my score?
+
Absolutely. That is the entire point. Improve your lifestyle habits — exercise more, sleep
better, manage stress, optimise nutrition — and your next measurement will reflect the change.
Add wearable data or blood biomarkers to unlock a higher scoring range. The leaderboard shows
a “Most Improved” category specifically to celebrate members who are making the biggest gains.
