The observation that unhealthy diets (those that are low in whole grains, fruits and
vegetables, and high in sugar, salt, saturated fat and ultra-processed foods) are a major risk …

Telomere attrition is associated with increased morbidity and mortality of various age-related
diseases. Reports of association between telomere length (TL) and all-cause mortality …

Telomeres protect the integrity of information-carrying DNA by serving as caps on the
terminal portions of chromosomes. Telomere length decreases with aging, and this …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) shares many phenotypic similarities with other chronic
diseases, including heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, HIV infection and …

Inflammaging is characterized by the upregulation of the inflammatory response that occurs
with advancing age; its roots are strongly embedded in evolutionary theory. Inflammaging is …

There is increasing interest in discovering mechanisms that mediate the effects of childhood
stress on late-life disease morbidity and mortality. Previous studies have suggested one …

Systemic inflammation in end-stage renal disease is an established risk factor for mortality
and a catalyst for other complications, which are related to a premature aging phenotype …

Background It is widely believed that females have longer telomeres than males, although
results from studies have been contradictory. Methods We carried out a systematic review …

The purpose of this study was to examine the association between socioeconomic status
(SES) and leukocyte telomere length (LTL)–a marker of cell aging that has been linked to …

Background Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is an indicator of general systemic aging, with
shorter LTL being associated with several chronic diseases of aging and earlier mortality …
