No Association Between Telomere Length and Survival Among the Elderly and Oldest Old

13 Feb 2006

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The consistent findings of a negative correlation between telomere length and replicative potential of cultured cells, as well as a decreasing telomere length in a number of different tissues in humans with age, have led to the suggestion that telomeres play a role in cellular aging in vivo and ultimately even in organismal aging. Furthermore, one small longitudinal study of elderly individuals has...
