Leukocyte Telomere Length Is Unrelated to Cognitive Performance Among Non-Demented and Demented Persons: An Examination of Long Life Family Study Participants

Abstract

LTL does not change in the context of degenerative disease for these individuals who are biologically younger than the general population.
