The rate of leukocyte telomere shortening predicts mortality from cardiovascular disease in elderly men: a novel demonstration

4 Dec 2008

Abstract excerpt

Telomere length (TL) has been proposed as a marker of mitotic cell age and as a general index of human organismic aging. Short absolute leukocyte telomere length has been linked to cardiovascular-related morbidity and mortality. Our aim was to test whether the rate of change in leukocyte TL is related to mortality in a healthy elderly cohort. We examined a subsample of 236 randomly selected Caucasian participants...
