Micronutrient status and leukocyte telomere length in school-age Colombian children
Abstract
Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is a biomarker of inflammation and oxidative stress that predicts chronic disease risk. Nutritional factors are related to LTL in adulthood, but these associations are not well characterized in children. We examined whether micronutrient status biomarkers were associated with LTL in school-age children. We conducted a cross-sectional study of 330 boys and 393 girls aged 5–12 years from Bogota, Colombia. We...
