About
About VitalDecades
VitalDecades helps adults from their mid-thirties on make better health decisions as they age: what to test, what to track, what changes by decade, and which products and services are worth paying for.
Every number on this site is tied to the document that sets it, with that document's own date. Every product or service we recommend is checked against the FDA record before it appears, and the date of the check is published. Where we earn a commission, we say so on the page.
What you will find here
Four kinds of pages. Decade hubs list the screenings and vaccines recommended at your age, with the recommending body, its grade and its date on every row. The Biomarker Library gives reference ranges for common lab values, each range tied to the guideline or lab standard that sets it. Guides explain a decision (a medication class, a cost, a rule) in plain English with sources. Reviews and best-of lists cover the services people actually pay for, with prices dated to the day we read them and a published metric breakdown behind every score.
How we make money
Some links on this site are affiliate links: if you buy after clicking, the merchant pays us a commission at no extra cost to you. Those links are marked, the disclosure sits on the page that carries them, and the partner's vetting record is public on how we pick. Rankings and scores are set by the editorial team from published criteria; nobody who writes or reviews a page is paid on clicks or sales, and no partner sees a page before it publishes. We may add display advertising in future; if we do, it will never appear beside content about unapproved products or regulatory enforcement.
What this site is not
It is not medical advice and it is not a substitute for a clinician who knows your history. It is not a news site: we cover changes in prices, rules and evidence as health information, framed around what you might do about them. And it is not a marketplace: we do not sell products, prescribe, dispense or process payments.
Corrections
If a number, date or source on this site is wrong, tell us through the contact form. We fix the page, note the change in its update date, and re-check the source. See our editorial standards and how we verify.
The team
VitalDecades is published by Revlent. Pages are written and maintained by the VitalDecades editorial team; drafts are prepared with software assistance and every figure and citation is checked by an editor against the primary source before publication. We do not yet have a named, credentialed clinical reviewer, and we will not invent one: bylines stay collective until a real clinician joins, at which point their profile, license and review dates will appear on the pages they review.
VitalDecades is small by design. We're a focused team of health writers, technologists, and patient advocates building a healthspan reference readers can check us on. We grow carefully, prioritizing depth over scale.
We're hiring. If you're a health writer, product designer, or software engineer who cares about this work, tell us about yourself.
