Association between shortened leukocyte telomere length and cardio-metabolic outcomes.
In their meta-analysis of 27 published studies, D’Mello et al show that shortened leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is associated with 3 primary end points: myocardial infarction, stroke, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The meta-analysis and its findings raise several fundamental issues that are worth considering. After discussing the major findings and limitations, we focus on 3 central themes: th...

Although it is widely used as a unidimensional instrument, factor analyses tend to suggest that it contains more than one dimension. AIM The purpose of this paper is to review the factor-analytic research that has been carried out w...
متن کاملThe validity of general health questionnaires, GHQ-12 and GHQ-28, in mental health studies of working people.
The purpose of the study was to determine such cut-off points in the scores of General Health Questionnaires (GHQ-12 and GHQ-28) that allow for optimal identification of people with mental health disorders in the Polish working population attending primary health care settings. The groups under the study covered 419 and 392 patients for GHQ-12, and GHQ-28, respectively. In the GHQ-12 group, 90 ...
متن کاملLeukocyte telomere length: the telomere tale continues.
In culture, replicating human somatic cells display progressive telomere shortening. Ultimately, such cells either undergo apoptosis or enter a state of replicative senescence that is triggered by critically shortened telomeres. Accordingly, telomere length is an index of both the replicative history and the replicative potential of human somatic cells in culture (1). Most replicating human som...
