Insomnia 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 کاملAssociation of Leukocyte Telomere Length with Fatigue in Nondisabled Older Adults
Introduction. Fatigue is often present in older adults with no identified underlying cause. The accruing burden of oxidative stress and inflammation might be underlying factors of fatigue. We therefore hypothesized that leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is relatively short in older adults who experience fatigue. Materials and Methods. We assessed 439 older nondisabled Danish twins. LTL was measur...
متن کاملLeukocyte 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 کاملPsychosocial Stress and Telomere Length in Older Adults
Background → Psychosocial stress has been associated with an increased risk for mental and somatic health problems across the life span. Some studies in younger adults linked this to accelerated cellular aging, indexed by shortened telomere length (TL). In older adults, the impact of psychosocial stress on TL may be different due to the lifetime exposure to competing causes of TL-shortening. Th...
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...
