Work-Related Exhaustion and Telomere Length: A Population-Based Study
BACKGROUND Psychological stress is suggested to accelerate the rate of biological aging. We investigated whether work-related exhaustion, an indicator of prolonged work stress, is associated with accelerated biological aging, as indicated by shorter leukocyte telomeres, that is, the DNA-protein complexes that cap chromosomal ends in cells. METHODS We used data from a representative sample of ...
متن کاملWork Schedule-related Health Problems in Petrochemical Industries Workers
Background & Aims: Shift work is programmed in various schedules, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The main purposes of this study were: a) to determine common shift schedules used in petrochemical industries, b) to compare shift work health-related problems among employees working in different shift schedules and c) to recommend appropriate shift schedule.

متن کاملMultivitamin use and telomere length in women.
BACKGROUND Telomere length may be a marker of biological aging. Multivitamin supplements represent a major source of micronutrients, which may affect telomere length by modulating oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. OBJECTIVE The objective was to examine whether multivitamin use is associated with longer telomeres in women. DESIGN We performed a cross-sectional analysis of data from ...
متن کاملHigh Phobic Anxiety Is Related to Lower Leukocyte Telomere Length in Women
BACKGROUND Chronic psychological distress has been linked to shorter telomeres, an indication of accelerated aging. Yet, little is known about relations of anxiety to telomeres. We examined whether a typically chronic form of anxiety--phobic anxiety--is related to telomere length. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Relative telomere lengths (RTLs) in peripheral blood leukocytes were measured by q...
متن کاملDietary restraint and telomere length in pre- and postmenopausal women.
BACKGROUND Leukocyte telomere shortening can serve as a biomarker of aging, as telomere length (TL) can decline with age and shortening is positively associated with morbidity and mortality. It is therefore important to identify psychological and behavioral factors linked to accelerated telomere shortening. Stress and poorer metabolic health (greater adiposity, insulin resistance, and cortisol)...
