The impact of pathogen burden on leukocyte telomere length in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis

7 Sept 2017

Abstract excerpt

Several infections have been linked to telomere shortening and in some cases these associations have varied by sex. We assessed the association between seropositivity to four persistent pathogens (cytomegalovirus (CMV), herpes simplex virus-1, Helicobacter pylori, Chlamydia pneumoniae), and total pathogen burden on leukocyte telomere length in a diverse US sample. Data came from the Multi-Ethnic Study of...
