(1, 2) Physical Activity and Exercise Effects the Length of Telomeres Several studies have been done on the effects of ...

“The novelty and merit of this work is that the authors demonstrate, for the first time, that [telomere transcription] occurs in response to physical exercise in a physiological system—human muscle,” ...

Shorter leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is associated with several chronic diseases, but only a few studies have assessed the association between dietary factors and LTL. Our objective was to ...

We assessed the relationship between measures of adiposity, leukocyte telomere length, and mortality and whether it is modified by age. For this secondary analysis of data, we utilized the 1999 ...

Regular intensive exercise slows cellular aging by maintaining ... There was no significant difference in telomere length between those with low or moderate physical activity and the sedentary ...

On the other hand, regular physical activity, a nutrient-rich Mediterranean diet, and stress management have been shown to preserve telomere length. For instance, moderate exercise and antioxidant ...

“Measuring leukocyte telomere length may offer insights into a patient’s risk for stroke, dementia, and late-life depression”, study investigator, Tamara N. Kimball, MD, a postdoctoral ...

Their blood samples were used to analyze leukocyte telomere length, and the measurements were divided into groups: shortest, intermediate and longest. A Brain Care Score assessment quantified their ...

The study did not find that the telomere length directly causes these age-related brain diseases. However, it indicates that healthier lifestyle choices might significantly counteract the harmful ...

The team’s study Modification of the telomerase gene with human regulatory sequences resets mouse telomeres to human length appears in Nature Communications. Globally, scientists are working to ...

Telomere length can be affected by genetics ... quantified their modifiable risk factors such as blood pressure, diet, exercise, stress and the strength of social relationships.
