Telomere length and physical performance at older ages: an individual participant meta-analysis.

Telomere length and physical performance at older ages: an individual participant meta-analysis.

<h4>Background</h4>Telomeres are involved in cellular ageing and shorten with increasing age. If telomere length is a valuable biomarker of ageing, then telomere shortening should be associated with worse physical performance, an ageing trait, but evidence for such an association is lack...
