Telomeres, cardiovascular aging, and potential intervention for cellular senescence

This 2014 review explores the relationship between leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and atherosclerosis, highlighting that shortened LTL is associated with cardiovascular aging. The study suggests that telomere attrition in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) due to chronic inflammation and oxidative stress contributes to endothelial dysfunction and plaque formation. It emphasizes that

Association of Dietary Magnesium Intake With Leukocyte Telomere Length in United States Middle-Aged and Elderly Adults

This 2022 observational study used data from 4,039 U.S. adults aged 45 and older (NHANES 1999–2002) to explore the relationship between dietary magnesium intake and leukocyte telomere length (LTL), a biomarker of cellular aging. Researchers found that higher magnesium intake was significantly associated with longer LTL, with participants consuming ≥299
