Shorter telomeres in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from older persons with sarcopenia: results from an exploratory study

Background. Telomere shortening in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) has been associated with biological age and several chronic degenerative diseases. However, the relationship between telomere length and sarcopenia, a hallmark of the aging process, is unknown. The aim of the present study...
