The Association Between Physical Activity in Leisure Time and Leukocyte Telomere Length
Lynn Cherkas,Janice L Hunkin,Bernet S. Kato,J. Brent Richards,Jeffrey P. Gardner,Gabriela L. Surdulescu,Masayuki Kimura,Xiaobin Lu,Tim D. Spector,Abraham Aviv +9 more
TL;DR: Leukocyte telomere length was positively associated with increasing physical activity level in leisure time (P< .001); this association remained significant after adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, smoking, socioeconomic status, and physical activity at work.

TL;DR: It is likely that longer telomeres increase risk for several cancers but reduce risk for some non-neoplastic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, as well as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are strongly associated with telomere length in the general population.

TL;DR: Telomere length is longer in females than males, although this difference was not universally found in studies that did not use Southern blot methods, and further research on explanations for the methodological differences is required.
Journal ArticleDOI
Telomere Length Inversely Correlates With Pulse Pressure and Is Highly Familial
Elisabeth Jeanclos,Nicholas J. Schork,Nicholas J. Schork,Kirsten Ohm Kyvik,Masayuki Kimura,Joan Skurnick,Abraham Aviv +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that telomere length, which is under genetic control, might play a role in mechanisms that regulate pulse pressure, including vascular aging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leukocyte telomeres are longer in African Americans than in whites: the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Family Heart Study and the Bogalusa Heart Study.

TL;DR: It is reported that African Americans have longer leukocyte telomere length than whites and it is suggested that racial difference in LTL arises from a host of interacting biological factors, including replication rates of hematopoietic stem cells.
