Telomeres are regions of repetitive nucleotide sequences at the ends of chromosomes.
Telomere length is a marker of DNA damage, which is often considered a biomarker for …

Telomere attrition is associated with increased morbidity and mortality of various age-related
diseases. Reports of association between telomere length (TL) and all-cause mortality …

Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is a proposed marker of biological age. Here we report the
measurement and initial characterization of LTL in 474,074 participants in UK Biobank. We …

Interindividual variation in mean leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is associated with cancer
and several age-associated diseases. We report here a genome-wide meta-analysis of …

Telomeres are the heterochromatic repeat regions at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes,
whose length is considered to be a determinant of biological ageing. Normal ageing itself is …

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 …

OBJECTIVE: To provide a systematic review of the relationship between age and leukocyte
telomere length (LTL) in adults. METHODS: Relevant studies were identified by a systematic …

We describe a simple and reproducible method to measure absolute telomere length (aTL)
using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). This method is based on the …

Objective To examine whether adherence to the Mediterranean diet was associated with
longer telomere length, a biomarker of aging. Design Population based cohort study. Setting …

Background It is widely believed that females have longer telomeres than males, although
results from studies have been contradictory. Methods We carried out a systematic review …
