Leukocyte telomere length and marital status among middle-aged adults.
BACKGROUND being unmarried is associated with worse health and increased mortality risk. Telomere length has emerged as a marker for biological ageing but it is unclear how telomere length relates to marital status. OBJECTIVE to examine the relationship between telomere length and marital status in a sample of middle-aged adults. DESIGN AND SUBJECTS cross-sectional analysis among 321 adults...
متن کاملAn Association Study between Longitudinal Changes of Leukocyte Telomere and the Risk of Azoospermia in a Population of Iranian Infertile Men
Background: Telomeres are evolutionary, specialized terminal structures at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes containing TTAGGG repeats in human. Several human diseases have been known to be associated with dramatic changes in telomere length. The aim of the present study was to assess the correlation between the relative leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and infertility in a group of Iranian azo...
متن کاملInsomnia and Telomere Length in Older Adults.
STUDY OBJECTIVES Insomnia, particularly in later life, may raise the risk for chronic diseases of aging and mortality through its effect on cellular aging. The current study examines the effects of insomnia on telomere length, a measure of cellular aging, and tests whether insomnia interacts with chronological age to increase cellular aging. METHODS A total of 126 males and females (60-88 y) ...
متن کاملLeukocyte Telomere Dynamics: Longitudinal Findings Among Young Adults in the Bogalusa Heart Study
Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is ostensibly a biomarker of human aging. Cross-sectional analyses have found that LTL is relatively short in a host of aging-related diseases. These studies have also provided indirect estimates of age-dependent LTL shortening. In this paper, the authors report findings of the first comprehensive longitudinal study of 450 whites and 185 African Americans in Loui...
