Older biological age is associated with adverse COVID-19 outcomes: A cohort study in UK Biobank

2021-03-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Older chronological age is the most powerful risk factor for adverse coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) outcomes. It is uncertain, however, whether older biological age, as assessed by leucocyte telomere length (LTL), is also associated with COVID-19 outcomes. <h4>Methods</h4> We associated LTL values obtained from participants recruited into UK Biobank (UKB) during 2006-2010 with adverse COVID-...
