Short telomere length, lung function and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in 46 396 individuals

25 Dec 2012

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A previous case-control study of 100 individuals found that short telomere length was associated with a 28-fold increased risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). OBJECTIVES: To test the hypothesis that short telomere length is associated with reduced lung function and an increased risk of COPD. METHODS: Observational study of 46 396 individuals from the Danish general population....
