Shorter telomere length is linked to brain atrophy and white matter hyperintensities

14 Nov 2013

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: leukocyte telomere length (TL) is considered a marker of biological aging. Several studies have investigated the link between leukocyte TL and aging-associated functional attributes of the brain, but no prior study has investigated whether TL can be linked to brain atrophy and white matter hyperintensities (WMHs); two prominent structural manifestations of brain aging. METHODS: we investigated whether...
