Article Synopsis
- * Out of 106,902 samples tested, 98.7% passed quality control, revealing that telomere length typically declines with age up to 75, but interestingly, individuals over 75 showed a positive correlation between age and longer telomeres, suggesting improved longevity.
- * The research found that women generally have longer telomeres than men, significant in those over 50, and it noted increased variability in telomere length with age, reinforcing
Background: Leukocyte telomere length, an emerging marker of biological age, has been shown to predict cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, the natural history of telomere length in patients with coronary artery disease has not been studied. We sought to investigate the longitudinal trajectory of telomere length, and to identify the independent predictors of telomere shortening, in persons with coronary artery disease.
