Telomere length loss due to smoking and metabolic traits
14 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Human age-dependent telomere attrition and telomere shortening are associated with several age-associated diseases and poorer overall survival. The aim of this study was to determine longitudinal leucocyte telomere length dynamics and identify factors associated with temporal changes in telomere length. DESIGN AND METHODS: Leucocyte telomere length was measured by quantitative polymerase chain...
