Peripheral Blood Leukocyte Telomere Length and Mortality Among 64 637 Individuals From the General Population

10 Apr 2015

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Short telomeres in peripheral blood leukocytes are associated with older age and age-related diseases. We tested the hypotheses that short telomeres are associated with both increased cancer mortality and all-cause mortality. METHODS: Individuals (n = 64637) were recruited from 1991 onwards from two Danish prospective cohort studies: the Copenhagen City Heart Study and the Copenhagen General...
