Telomere length (TL) is associated with several aging-related diseases. Here, we present a
DNA methylation estimator of TL (DNAmTL) based on 140 CpGs. Leukocyte DNAmTL is …

Telomere length (TL) has been proposed as a marker of mitotic cell age and as a general
index of human organismic aging. Short absolute leukocyte telomere length has been linked …

Telomere length (TL) and DNA methylation–based epigenetic clocks are markers of
biological age, but the relationship between the two is not fully understood. Here, we used …

In humans, leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is positively correlated with lifespan and shorter
LTL is associated with increased risk of age-related disease. In this study we tested for …

Telomere length measurement is increasingly recognized as a clinical gauge for age-related
disease risk. There are several methods for studying blood telomere length (BTL) as a …

Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) has been regarded as a potential marker of biologic aging
because it usually shortens in a predictable way with age. Recently, a growing interest in …

Evidence assembled over the last decade shows that average telomere length (TL) acts as a
biomarker for biological aging and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in particular. Although …

DNA methylation age (DNAm age;“epigenetic clock”) has recently been described as highly
correlated with chronological age. Several studies suggest that DNAm age reflects, at least …

Background. Most studies of leukocyte telomere length (LTL) focus on diagnosed disease in
one system. A more encompassing depiction of health is disease burden, defined here as …

Telomeres are nucleoprotein caps flanking DNA. They are shortened by cell division and
oxidative stress and are lengthened by the enzyme telomerase and DNA exchange during …
