Each year, tobacco related use accounts for approximately 430,000 deaths, while heart disease claims around 630,000 lives in United States. Cancer contributes to another 600,000 deaths annually. Together with cerebrovascular disease, chronic lower respiratory diseases, unintentional injuries, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease these conditions constitute the seven leading causes of mortality in the United States, with prevalence rates increasing significantly with age. For example, over 83% of individuals who die from coronary artery disease are 65 years or older. Age is a major determinant of life-threatening diseases and illnesses, emphasizing the need for early detection and comprehensive management. Overcoming silent and hidden diseases by unifying whole body (holistic) diagnostic approach (head to toe) utilizing electrophysiological, endocrine, genetic, neurochemical and molecular evaluation seems prudent in light of these statistics concerning. To combat this pressing health challenges dilemma, we hereby propose a new paradigm shift involving the development and implementation of a novel “Diagnostic Age Print (DAP™) map. This innovative tool aims to prevent premature fatalities and optimize the management of complex aging patients. By enabling a systematic, comprehensive evaluation within a single primary care physician’s office, the DAP™ map has the potential to reduce the need for multiple specialists’ visits, streamlining care and improving patients’ outcomes.
