Shorter Leukocyte Telomere Length in Midlife Women with Poor Sleep Quality

Shorter Leukocyte Telomere Length in Midlife Women with Poor Sleep Quality

Background. Accumulating evidence supports leukocyte telomere length (LTL) as a biological marker of cellular aging. Poor sleep is a risk factor for age-related disease; however, the extent to which sleep accounts for variation in LTL is unknown. Methods. The present study examined associations of s...
