Abstract-Vorschau
Telomere shortening has been recognized as marker of biological aging. Telomere length as well as lung function are decreased in smokers and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), suggesting premature aging due to environmental exposure and/or chronic inflammation. While breathing, any lung is inevitably exposed to air borne pollutants. Therefore, we wondered whether lung function may serve as a…
