Leukocyte Telomere Dynamics: Longitudinal Findings Among Young Adults in the Bogalusa Heart Study

25 Nov 2008

Abstract excerpt

Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is ostensibly a biomarker of human aging. Cross-sectional analyses have found that LTL is relatively short in a host of aging-related diseases. These studies have also provided indirect estimates of age-dependent LTL shortening. In this paper, the authors report findings of the first comprehensive longitudinal study of 450 whites and 185 African Americans in Louisiana (aged 31.4...
