Telomere length in leukocytes correlates with bone mineral density and is shorter in women with osteoporosis
2007
Summary
Telomere length decreases with age and is associated with osteoblast senescence. In 2,150 unselected women, leukocyte telomere length was significantly correlated with bone mineral density. Clinical osteoporosis was associated with shorter telomeres, suggesting that telomere length can be used as a marker of bone aging.
