Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Telomeres play a key role in the maintenance of chromosome integrity. Short telomeres are linked to age-associated diseases and cancer. Our aim was to determine the decrease rate of relative telomere length (RTL) over 10 years and whether this rate was influenced by age, sex and smoking behaviour. METHODS: We compared RTL in 510 sample pairs from the longitudinal population-based Bruneck Study, which...
