Shorter Leukocyte Telomere Length in Midlife Women with Poor Sleep Quality
Background. Accumulating evidence supports leukocyte telomere length (LTL) as a biological marker of cellular aging. Poor sleep is a risk factor for age-related disease; however, the extent to which sleep accounts for variation in LTL is unknown. Methods. The present study examined associations of self-reported sleep duration, onset latency, and subjective quality with LTL in a community-dwelli...
متن کاملIs chronic asthma associated with shorter leukocyte telomere length at midlife?
RATIONALE Asthma is prospectively associated with age-related chronic diseases and mortality, suggesting the hypothesis that asthma may relate to a general, multisystem phenotype of accelerated aging. OBJECTIVES To test whether chronic asthma is associated with a proposed biomarker of accelerated aging, leukocyte telomere length. METHODS Asthma was ascertained prospectively in the Dunedin M...
متن کاملChildhood Obesity Is Associated with Shorter Leukocyte Telomere Length
CONTEXT Obesity in adults is associated with shorter mean leukocyte telomere length (LTL), a marker of biological age that is also associated with age-related conditions including cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. However, studies of childhood obesity and LTL have proved inconclusive. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to clarify the relationship between telomere length and ch...
متن کاملEffects of Aerobic Training Combined with Green Tea Extract on Leukocyte Telomere Length, Quality of Life and Body Composition in Elderly Women
Background: Exercise and consumption of green tea affect the aging process. However, the effect of exercise training combined with green tea extract on leukocyte telomere length, quality of life (QoL) and body composition in aging has so far been unclear and inconsistent. Objective: The aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of aerobic training intervention and green tea e...
متن کاملHealthy Lifestyle and Leukocyte Telomere Length in U.S. Women
CONTEXT Whether a healthy lifestyle may be associated with longer telomere length is largely unknown. OBJECTIVES To examine healthy lifestyle practices, which are primary prevention measures against major age-related chronic diseases, in relation to leukocyte telomere length. DESIGN AND SETTING Cross-sectional analysis in the Nurses' Health Study (NHS). PARTICIPANTS The population consist...
