The time a woman in England can expect to live in less than good health. For a man it is 18.5 years.

Why longevity matters now
Longevity is about more than how long you live. It is about how many of those years are spent in good health. The Office for National Statistics measures this as healthy life expectancy, and in the UK it has fallen to its lowest level since its figures began in 2011 to 2013. In recent years, interest has grown fast, as the figures below show.

Where to start
Each section shows every provider found in the UK, with its prices as it publishes them.
The cheapest full body MRI at each provider costs from £640 to £5,500. Neko’s body scan, which uses no MRI, is listed beside them.
A one off health assessment costs from £250 to £19,000 at the 37 clinics that publish a price. The others sell memberships or programmes, or give a price on request.
DEXA scans at 10 London providers, VO2 max tests at 39 labs and clinics, and 7 biological age tests as each maker describes them.
Why Longevity List
Longevity services can cost thousands of pounds, and they are hard to compare. Every clinic listing on Longevity List answers the same questions, in the same order:
Every fact comes from the provider’s own pages or a public register, with the date it was checked. Nothing is ranked.
Some of what these services sell, the NHS offers free, and official bodies add a word of caution.
The NHS Health Check is open to people aged 40 to 74 who do not already have certain conditions. In the NHS’s words, “you should be invited to an NHS Health Check by your GP or local council every 5 years.”
NHS
“The NHS Health Check is a free check-up of the health of your heart and blood vessels (cardiovascular health).”
UK National Screening Committee
“Screening tests are not 100% accurate and do not provide a diagnosis.”
GOV.UK, published 21st November 2023
Royal College of Radiologists
“If you don’t have symptoms, we don’t recommend an elective MRI.”
These are the points raised most often in 665 Google and Trustpilot reviews of 44 clinics on Longevity List.

Of the 23 full body MRI providers, 20 say on their own pages that you can book without a GP referral. Some review each booking first, or have their own doctor make the referral. The other 3 do not say.
Each provider’s own pages
The Royal College of General Practitioners says “the organisation initiating the screening should not assume that general practitioners will deal with the results.” It adds that organisations offering screening “must organise and fund follow-up so that patients are adequately supported”. Where a clinic says what follow up it includes, its listing shows it.

The UK National Screening Committee says “A false positive result may lead to someone having invasive or harmful tests or treatments which they do not need.”

The UK Government’s position, published 30th March 2026, says: “providing DEXA for non‑medical sports and wellness purposes is prohibited”. A public consultation on allowing it closed on 1st June 2026. No decision has been published.
GOV.UK
The Office for National Statistics measures it. In its words, healthy life expectancy “represents the average time an individual is expected to live in ‘very good’ or ‘good’ general health, based on how individuals perceive their general health.”

No official definition was found in the guidance checked from the CQC, GOV.UK and the Advertising Standards Authority. The CQC registers the services a clinic provides, such as diagnostic and screening procedures, rather than what the clinic calls itself. Each listing shows the clinic’s CQC registration where one was found.

No. Listings are compared on the facts each provider publishes. Longevity List does not rate or rank them.
Each listing shows the date every fact on it was checked. The records on this page were checked between 20th and 25th October 2026.
