Telomere length in white blood cells is not associated with morbidity or mortality in the oldest old: a population‐based study

7 Nov 2005

Abstract excerpt

Cross-sectional studies have repeatedly suggested peripheral blood monocyte telomere length as a biomarker of aging. To test this suggestion in a large population-based follow-up study of the oldest old, we measured telomere length at baseline in 598 participants of the Leiden 85-plus Study (mean age at baseline 89.8 years). We also obtained second telomere measurements from 81 participants after an average time...
