Telomere length and physical performance at older ages: an individual participant meta-analysis
- Abstract:
-
Telomeres are involved in cellular ageing and shorten with increasing age. If telomere length is a valuable biomarker of ageing, then telomere shortening should be associated with worse physical performance, an ageing trait, but evidence for such an association is lacking. The purpose of this study was to examine whether change in telomere length is associated with physical performance.Using data from four UK adult cohorts (ages 53-80 years at baseline), we undertook cross-sectional and longi...
