Older adults with higher income or marriage have longer telomeres
BACKGROUND telomere length has been used to represent biological ageing and is found to be associated with various physiological, psychological and social factors. OBJECTIVE to explore the effects of income and marriage on leucocyte telomere length in a representative sample of older adults. DESIGN AND SUBJECTS cross-sectional analysis among 298 adults, aged 65-74, randomly selected from th...
متن کاملLonger telomeres associated with higher survival in birds.
Differences in individual quality and survival within species are a major focus in evolutionary ecology, but we know very little about the underlying physiological mechanisms that determine these differences. Telomere shortening associated with cellular senescence and ageing may be one such mechanism. To date, however, there is little evidence linking telomere length and survival. Here, we show...
متن کاملOlder men with higher self-rated socioeconomic status have shorter telomeres.
BACKGROUND previous studies examining the relationship between socioeconomic status and telomere length showed conflicting results, one study finding shorter telomere length in subjects with lower socioeconomic status and one showing no relationship. DESIGN cross-sectional study. SETTING community-living elderly Chinese in Hong Kong. OBJECTIVE this study examines the relationship between ...
متن کاملBreastfeeding for One Month or Longer is Associated with Higher Risk of Osteoarthritis in Older Adults: NHANES 1999–2012
Breastfeeding is associated with many health benefits to the mother but the association between osteoarthritis (OA) is not known. Menopause, a state of rapid estrogen loss, is associated with OA. To test whether lactation, another physiological state of low estrogen status, is associated with OA, a nationally representative dataset National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-...
متن کاملAnchored telomeres get longer
T wo groups conclude that factors near telomeres alter the telomeres' nuclear positioning and thus their length. The lengths of telomeres, which are caps for chromosome ends, are kept consistent by a pathway that " counts " the number of Rap1 molecules bound to telomeres. This pathway signals through Tel1 to recruit the lengthening telomerase enzyme. Cells missing Tel1 have shorter but stable t...
