Abstract

One-hour post-load glucose (1h-PG) detects dysglycemia-related disorders more effectively than traditional glycemic parameters. Hyperglycemia accelerates aging, but whether 1h-PG outperforms in predicting aging remains unclear.

Research summary

Elevated 1-hour post-load glucose is proposed as a predictor for telomere attrition. The study connects glucose metabolism with telomere length, which is a biological marker of aging, thus addressing a potential root cause of aging.
