Background—Telomeres are repetitive, gene-poor regions that cap the ends of DNA and
help maintain chromosomal integrity. Their shortening is caused by inflammation and …

Objective The main objective of this systematic review is to assess the effects of obesity on
telomere length. Methods The following databases were searched: MEDLINE, EMBASE …

Background Telomere shortness in human beings is a prognostic marker of ageing, disease,
and premature morbidity. We previously found an association between 3 months of …

Telomeres are at the non-coding ends of linear chromosomes. Through a complex 3-
dimensional structure, they protect the coding DNA and ensure appropriate separation of …

Background Short telomeres have been linked to various age-related diseases. We aimed to
assess the association of telomere length with incident type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in …

The objective of this study was to provide a systematic review and meta‐analysis of studies
on the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and leukocyte telomere length (LTL) …

How can adverse experiences in early life, such as maltreatment, exert such powerful
negative effects on health decades later? The answer may lie in changes to DNA. New …

The aim of this systematic review is to assess the effects of exercise on telomeres length. We
searched the following databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of …

Telomeres are the tips of chromosomes and consist of proteins and hexanucleotide tandem
repeats of DNA. The DNA repeats are shortened at each mitotic division of normal cells, and …

Background: Telomeres are nucleoprotein structures that protect the ends of eukaryote
chromosomes. Shorter telomere length (TL) is associated with some age-related human …
