Systematic correlation of environmental exposure and physiological and self-reported behaviour factors with leukocyte telomere length
8 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
Background: It is hypothesized that environmental exposures and behaviour influence telomere length, an indicator of cellular ageing. We systematically associated 461 indicators of environmental exposures, physiology and self-reported behaviour with telomere length in data from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) in 1999-2002.
