Associations Between Cellular Aging Markers and Metabolic Syndrome: Findings From the CARDIA Study
18 Oct 2017
Abstract excerpt
Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is thought to promote biological aging, which might lead to cardiovascular and aging-related complications. This large-scale study investigated longitudinal relationships between MetS, its components, and cellular aging markers: leukocyte mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn) and telomere length (TL).
