Investigating the impact of metabolic syndrome traits on telomere length: a Mendelian randomization study
6 Jul 2023
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Observational studies have reported bidirectional associations between metabolic syndrome (MetS) traits and short leukocyte telomere length (LTL), a TL marker in somatic tissues and a proposed risk factor for age-related degenerative diseases. However, in Mendelian randomization studies, longer LTL has been paradoxically associated with higher MetS risk. This study investigated the hypothesis that...
