Abstract

Telomere length (TL) serves as a marker for biological aging, influenced by chronological aging but distinct from it. This systematic review aims to synthesize the evidence on the associations between components of physical aging and TL in the elderly population.

Research summary

The paper claims that there are associations between physical aging components and telomere length in the elderly population. This research is relevant as it explores biological aging markers, which could contribute to understanding the mechanisms of aging and potential interventions.
