Serum Growth Differentiation Factor 15 is Negatively Associated with Leukocyte Telomere Length by Jie Yu, Yiwen Liu, Huabing Zhang, Fan Ping, Wei Li, Lingling Xu, Yuxiu Li

“…Results: Subjects with higher GDF15 were older,had larger waist circumference, higher systolic blood pressure and glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c),shorter LTL and tended to had less mtDNAcn. In correlation analysis, GDF15 was positively correlated with age, while LTL and mtDNAcn were negatively correlated with age.After adjusting for confounding factors,GDF15 was negatively associated with LTL (β = −0.120, 95%CI [−0.197, −0.042], p = 0.003) and the association was linear(p for nonlinear = 0.645), while the negative association between GDF15 and mtDNAcn did not reach significance.In the stratified analyses,the negative associations between GDF15 and LTL were more prominent in women, overweight individuals, or subjects with abnormal glucose tolerance (AGT), but similar results were observed in younger and older subjects. …”
