Background: Telomere shortening is associated with early mortality and chronic disease.
Recent studies indicate that environmental exposures, including urban and traffic-related air …

Telomeres play important roles in cancer initiation and progression. Leukocyte telomere
length (LTL) can modulate cancer risk and outcome. We hypothesize that genetically …

Purpose Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is a biomarker of inflammation and oxidative
stress that predicts chronic disease risk. Nutritional factors are related to LTL in adulthood …

Telomere length (TL) regulation is an important factor in ageing, reproduction and cancer
development. Genetic, hereditary and environmental factors regulating TL are currently …

Macronutrients and dietary energy influence aging, age-related health, and life span.
Reduction in telomere length has been proposed as one mechanism for aging. Therefore …

Background: Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) has been associated with the risks of several
cancers in observational studies. Mendelian randomization (MR) studies, using genetic …

The objective of this study was to investigate whether leukocyte telomere length (LTL)
predicts the risk for cancer mortality among American Indians participating in the Strong …

Telomere length has been proposed as a biomarker of biological age and a risk factor for
age-related diseases and cancer. Substantial progress has been made in recent decades in …

This special issue on Stress and Aging Mechanisms is devoted to the memory of Bruce
McEwen, PhD, 1938–2020. Bruce was a pioneer in understanding stress, brain and …

Background Telomere length has been inversely associated with cardiovascular disease in
adulthood, but its relationship to preclinical cardiovascular phenotypes across the life course …
