Background Cigarette smoking is a risk factor for ageing-related disease, but its association
with biological ageing, indicated by telomere length, is unclear. Methods We systematically …

Simple Summary A link between telomere length and some age-related diseases has been
identified, including metabolic syndrome. So far, there is no mechanism to explain the origin …

Aging is characterized by alterations in neuro-cardiovascular regulatory mechanisms,
leading to impaired physiological variability patterns. Repeated evidence has shown that …

Background The causal direction and magnitude of the associations between telomere
length (TL) and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain uncertain due to susceptibility of …

The aging process has been linked to the occurrence of chronic diseases and functional
impairments, including cancer, sarcopenia, frailty, metabolic, cardiovascular, and …

Background Telomere length (TL) and its attrition are important indicators of physiological
stress and biological aging and hence may vary among individuals of the same age. This …

Despite the rapid progress in diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD), this
disease remains a major cause of mortality and morbidity. Recent progress over the last two …

Leucocyte telomere length (LTL) has been reported to be linked to ageing, cancer and
cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study aimed to explore the association between LTL …

Introduction Telomere biology plays a fundamental role in maintaining the integrity of the
genome and cell, and shortened telomeres have been linked to several age-related …

Purpose: We aimed to analyze and compare leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and age-
dependent LTL attrition between childhood cancer survivors and noncancer controls, and to …
