Modifiable traits, healthy behaviours, and leucocyte telomere length

2021-12-14

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Telomere length is associated with risk of several age–related diseases and cancers. The extent to which telomere length may be modifiable through lifestyle and behaviour and whether this has any clinical consequences is unknown. <h4>Methods</h4> In up to 422,797 participants in UK Biobank, we investigated associations of leucocyte telomere length (LTL) with 117 potentially modifiable traits, a...
