Mendelian randomization and colocalization analyses reveal an association between diet consumption and altered telomere length in leukocytes.

Medicine - 21 Nov 2025

Wang Bowen, He Jiawei, Pei Zijuan, Tao Chunhui, Song Enfeng

Abstract excerpt

Observational studies suggest dietary factors influence leukocyte telomere length (LTL), yet causality remains unproven. Using Mendelian randomization (MR) and colocalization analyses, we investigated causal relationships between 38 dietary phenotypes and LTL to clarify conflicting evidence on Mediterranean diet (MD) components (alcohol, nuts) and biological aging. Genetic instruments for dietary exposures were...
