Associations of leukocyte telomere length with body anthropometric indices and weight change in Chinese women
OBJECTIVE This study evaluated associations of telomere length with various anthropometric indices of general and abdominal obesity, as well as weight change. DESIGN AND METHODS The study included 2,912 Chinese women aged 40-70 years. Monochrome multiplex quantitative polymerase chain reaction was applied to measure relative telomere length. RESULTS Telomere length was inversely associated ...
متن کاملSpurious association between telomere length reduction over time and baseline telomere length.
Ehrlenbach et al. found a linear relationship between baseline relative telomere length (RTL) and the decrease of RTL over 10 years (r1⁄4 0.674; P < 0.001). Similarly, others have reported on this relationship between the telomere attrition rate and the baseline telomere length and found largely similar associations. Likewise, when we correlated the RTL and delta RTL during 7 years of follow-up...
متن کاملChange in Penile Length in Children: Preliminary Study
PURPOSE Studies of penile length in children have been rarely conducted. In Korea, great improvements in height and weight have been observed because of economic development over the past 25 years. We investigated the current status of penile length in Korean children and compared the results with those of a previous Korean study conducted in 1987. MATERIALS AND METHODS The subjects in this s...
متن کاملDaily torpor is associated with telomere length change over winter in Djungarian hamsters.
Ageing can progress at different rates according to an individual's physiological state. Natural hypothermia, including torpor and hibernation, is a common adaptation of small mammals to survive intermittent or seasonal declines in environmental conditions. In addition to allowing energy savings, hypothermia and torpor have been associated with retarded ageing and increased longevity. We tested...
متن کاملAge-dependent associations between telomere length and environmental conditions in roe deer
Telomere length (TL) represents a promising biomarker of overall physiological state and of past environmental experiences, which could help us understand the drivers of life-history variation in natural populations. A growing number of studies in birds suggest that environmental stress or poor environmental conditions are associated with shortened TL, but studies of such relationships in wild ...
