TELOMERE LENGTH AND CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE: EVIDENCE OF ACCELERATED AGING

1 Dec 2009

Abstract excerpt

To the Editor: There is mounting evidence that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease of accelerated aging caused by inflammation and oxidative stress.1 COPD has many age-related comorbidities, and the lungs of patients with COPD have been shown to have high levels of senescence markers.1,2 Telomere length is thought to be a biomarker of biological aging, because whenever cells turn over, their...
