Effect of Ethnicity on the Relationship Between Telomere Length and Metabolic Markers in Kuwait
Our study underlines the significant influence of ethnicity on the interplay between telomere length and metabolic health, and emphasizes the need to incorporate ethnic background when relating telomere biology to metabolic disorders. It further highlights the potential to incorporate telomere length into clinical risk factors for diabetes.
