Telomere length is a marker of biological aging.CONCLUSIONS: A higher level of plasma PAI-1 was associated with shorter LTL in American Indians.

LTL and PAI-1 were repeatedly measured in 475 participants who attended SHFS clinical visits in both 2001-2003 and 1998-1999. Generalized estimating equation model was used to examine the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between PAI-1 and LTL, adjusting for known risk factors.OBJECTIVES: To examine the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between plasma PAI-1 and leukocyte telomere length in a large-scale epidemiological study of American Indians.RESULTS: A higher level of plasma PAI-1 was negatively associated with shorter age-adjusted LTL (beta=-0.023, 95%CI: -0.034 ~ -0.013). This association was attenuated (beta=-0.015, 95%CI: -0.029 ~ -0.002) after adjustments for demographics, study site, lifestyle (smoking, drinking, physical activity), and metabolic factors (obesity, blood pressure, fasting glucose, insulin, lipids, kidney function). Further adjustment for hsCRP did not change this association (beta=-0.015, 95%CI: -0.029 ~ -0.001). Longitudinal analysis revealed that change in plasma PAI-1 was also inversely associated with change in LTL after adjusting for demographics, follow-up years, lifestyle factors, changes in metabolic factors, baseline levels of PAI-1 and LTL (beta=-0.0005, 95%CI: -0.0009 ~ -0.0001).All authors: Best LG, Cole SA, Howard BV, Lee ET, Lin J, Peng H, Yeh F, Zhao JFiscal year: FY2017Digital Object Identifier: Date added to catalog: 2017-05-06
