- - Telomeres, protective structures at the ends of chromosomes, shorten with each cell division and can be affected by lifestyle choices, especially due to obesity-induced inflammation.
- - The review explores how obesity leads to telomere shortening and identifies key risk factors influencing this process.
- - It concludes that telomere length may serve as a biomarker to measure the effectiveness of weight loss strategies on addressing obesity.
