Åström, Max J.; von Bonsdorff, Mikaela B.; Perälä, Mia-Maria; Salonen, Minna K.; Rantanen, Taina; Kajantie, Eero; Simonen, Mika; Pohjolainen, Pertti; Haapanen, Markus J.; Guzzardi, Maria A.; Iozzo, Patricia; Kautiainen, Hannu; Eriksson, Johan G. (Elsevier, 2019)Telomere length has been suggested a biomarker of aging and is associated with several chronic diseases. However, the association between telomere length and physical performance is not well known. Using both cross-sectional ... -

Does telomere length predict decline in physical functioning in older twin sisters during an 11-year follow-up?
Sillanpää, Elina; Törmäkangas, Timo; Rantanen, Taina; Kaprio, Jaakko; Sipilä, Sarianna (Springer Netherlands; American Aging Association, 2016)Background: Leucocyte telomere length (LTL) is known to be associated with mortality, but its association with age-related decline in physical functioning and the development of disability is less clear. This study ... -
