Shortened Leukocyte Telomere Length Is Associated With Glycemic Progression in Type 2 Diabetes: A Prospective and Mendelian Randomization Analysis
27 Jan 2022
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Several studies support associations between relative leukocyte telomere length (rLTL), a biomarker of biological aging and type 2 diabetes. This study investigates the relationship between rLTL and the risk of glycemic progression in patients with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: In this cohort study, consecutive Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes (N = 5,506) from the Hong Kong...
