Association of leucocyte telomere length with frailty: a large–scale cross–sectional analysis in UK Biobank

2021-06-13

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Leucocyte telomere length (LTL), a potential marker of biological age, has been associated with risk of many diseases. We investigated whether LTL is associated with risk of frailty, a multidimensional syndrome of decline that affects multiple systems and predisposes to adverse health outcomes. <h4>Methods</h4> In a cross–sectional analysis, we studied 441,781 UK Biobank participants (aged 40–7...
