Sex differences in the association between salivary telomere length and multimorbidity within the US Health & Retirement Study

21 May 2019

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Telomere length is associated with several physical and mental health conditions, but whether it is a marker of multimorbidity is unclear. We investigated associations between telomere length and multimorbidity by sex. METHODS: Data from adults (N = 5,495) aged ≥50 years were taken from the US Health and Retirement Study (2008-14). Telomere length was measured in 2008 from salivary samples. The...
