Telomeres and frailty.

Mechanisms of ageing and development - 1 Nov 2008

Woo J, Tang N L S, Suen E, Leung J C S, Leung P C

Abstract excerpt

Associations between telomere length and various chronic diseases associated with ageing have led to the suggestion that telomere length may be an ageing biomarker. At the clinical level, the suggestion of using measurements of frailty as a measure of biological ageing has also been suggested. This study examines the hypothesis that telomere shortening may form the biological basis for frailty, using data...
