Leukocyte telomere length associates with prospective mortality independent of immune-related parameters and known genetic markers

13 Jan 2014

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Human leukocyte telomere length (LTL) decreases with age and shorter LTL has previously been associated with increased prospective mortality. However, it is not clear whether LTL merely marks the health status of an individual by its association with parameters of immune function, for example, or whether telomere shortening also contributes causally to lifespan variation in humans. METHODS: We...
