Leukocyte Telomere Length and Cardiovascular Disease in the Cardiovascular Health Study
13 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
The telomere length of replicating somatic cells is inversely correlated with age and has been reported to be associated cross-sectionally with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Leukocyte telomere length, as expressed by mean terminal restriction fragment (TRF) length, was measured in 419 randomly selected participants from the Cardiovascular Health Study, comprising a community-dwelling cohort recruited in four US...
