Association of a Biomarker-Based Frailty Index with Telomere Length in Older American Adults: Findings from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999–2002

Association of a Biomarker-Based Frailty Index with Telomere Length in Older American Adults: Findings from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999–2002

Objectives: To study the link between frailty and cellular senescence, the authors examined the association of leukocyte telomere length (LTL) with a recently introduced measure of subclinical frailty that is based entirely on laboratory test biomarkers (FI-LAB). Methods: This study was conducted...
