Telomeres are regions of repetitive nucleotide sequences at the ends of chromosomes.
Telomere length is a marker of DNA damage, which is often considered a biomarker for …

Background Precision medicine has the potential to improve cardiovascular disease (CVD)
risk prediction in individuals with Type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods We conducted a …

OBJECTIVE Several studies support associations between relative leukocyte telomere
length (rLTL), a biomarker of biological aging and type 2 diabetes. This study investigates …

Background Individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) face an increased mortality risk, not fully
captured by canonical risk factors. Biological age estimation through DNA methylation …

Aims/hypothesis Few large-scale prospective studies have investigated associations
between relative leucocyte telomere length (rLTL) and kidney dysfunction in individuals with …

Observational studies have revealed associations between short leucocyte telomere length
(LTL), a TL marker in somatic tissues and multiple Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) traits. Animal …

Objective Observational studies have reported bidirectional associations between metabolic
syndrome (MetS) traits and short leukocyte telomere length (LTL), a TL marker in somatic …

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) represents a major global health problem. Accelerated
ageing is a key feature of DKD and, therefore, characteristics of accelerated ageing may …

Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common among people with type 2 diabetes
(T2D), and increases the risk of kidney failure and cardiovascular diseases. Shorter …

SARS-CoV-2, responsible for the global COVID-19 pandemic, has manifested significant
