Genetically Increased Telomere Length and Aging-related Physical and Cognitive Traits in the UK Biobank

2019-02-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Telomere length (TL) shortens over time in most human cell types and is a potential biomarker aging. However, the causal impact of TL on physical and cognitive phenotypes that decline with age has not been extensively examined. Using a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach, we utilized genetically increased TL (GI-TL) to estimate the impact of TL on aging-related traits amon...
