Association between short telomere lenght and increased fatigue level in adults.



So often fatigue is present in older adults with no objective underlying cause and is associated with severe adverse health outcomes. Also fatigue can be a sign of  many diseases and early aging. Researchers have found association between short leucocyte telomere length and increased fatigue level in adults.  It’s supposed to be connected with impaired reactive oxidative species signaling and inflammation but this relation is still to be studied.  This article was published in Journal of aging research.

Telomeres are are end regions of chromosomes consisted of repeating nucleotides and protecting chromosomes from shortening and fusion with neibouring chromosomes.
