Leukocyte telomere length and epigenetic-based mortality risk score: associations with all-cause mortality among older adults

Telomere length (TL) has been established as a biomarker of aging and aging-related health outcomes, but showed only a weak or inconsistent association with all-cause mortality in previous epidemiological studies. Recently, an epigenetic 'mortality risk score' (MS) based on whole blood DNA...
