Paper

Abstract

The global prevalence of diabetes is on an upward trajectory. The management of complications related to the condition has seen limited progress in recent years. Klotho, characterized as an anti-aging protein that mitigates oxidative stress and inflammation, has previously been correlated with all-cause mortality in the broader United States population. The objective of this research was to investigate the persistence of this relationship among diabetic patients.

Research summary

The paper investigates the correlation between serum Klotho levels and all-cause mortality in diabetic patients. This research is relevant as it explores a potential biomarker associated with aging and longevity, specifically in the context of a population affected by a chronic condition that is closely linked to age-related health issues.
