Low Social Support Is Associated With Shorter Leukocyte Telomere Length in Late Life

1 Feb 2013

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The primary goal was to test the hypothesis that limited social support (SS) is related to shorter leukocyte telomere length (LTL), particularly in an older adult population. METHODS: Cross-sectional analyses were performed on 948 participants aged 45 to 84 years at Examination 1 of the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (18.4% white, 53.1% Hispanics, and 28.5% African American). LTL was determined...
