ABSTRACT
Musculoskeletal disorders are not just conditions affecting bones and joints, but have a systemic impact on muscles, nerves, adjoining ligaments, tendons, and blood vessels. Pain and inflammation due to repair deficits are strong co-factors in these conditions. In fact in 2012, according to Centers for Disease Control (CDC) statistics, more than 50% of American adults had musculoskeletal pain disorders. The predictive biomarkers (PBs) were developed on the premise that epigenetics influence 92% and genetics influence the remaining 8% of health. This predictive biomarker focuses on the acceleration of age-related decline due to DNA status, particularly telomere length, and is an effective way to evaluate the success of an intervention, whether it involves dietary change or essential nutrients. When antioxidant levels are sufficient, oxidative damage from free radicals does not occur. Vitamin D levels play a significant role in numerous systems in the body, including immune and neurological regulation and bone health.
