Longer leukocyte telomeres are associated with ultra-endurance exercise independent of cardiovascular risk factors.

Longer leukocyte telomeres are associated with ultra-endurance exercise independent of cardiovascular risk factors.

Telomere length is recognized as a marker of biological age, and shorter mean leukocyte telomere length is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
