Comments: RealAge Test Is Actually Pharma Marketing Scam
Pharma has been doing this type of 'advertising' for years.
Here is a case on www.SSRIstories.com where they did something similar in regard to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Paragraph 14 reads: "Citing an example of how this tactic has been honed, Petersen pointed to the PTSD Alliance. The group whose name is about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, of which it’s estimated that five percent of the American public suffered from, was really the creation of a public relations firm working for Pfizer to sell more Zoloft. In fact, she said, it was staffed by the public relations firm and its offices were the same address of the public relations firm."
