Cumulative inflammatory load is associated with short leukocyte telomere length in the Health, Aging and Body Composition Study.

Cumulative inflammatory load is associated with short leukocyte telomere length in the Health, Aging and Body Composition Study.

Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is an emerging marker of biological age. Chronic inflammatory activity is commonly proposed as a promoter of biological aging in general, and of leukocyte telomere shortening in particular. In addition, senescent cells with critically short telomeres produce pro-infla...
