Association of self-reported sleep duration with leukocyte telomere length in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients
This study adds to the growing literature relating sleep duration with biomarkers of aging and suggests that the shortening of LTL may reflect potential mechanisms through which longer sleep duration contributes to pathological conditions in T2DM patients. It is recommended that healthcare providers, health promoters, and patients pay greater attention to sleep habits, avoiding excessively long sleep durations, to potentially slow cellular aging.
