Associations between telomere length and cognitive performance in a long‐lived elderly population from Costa Rica: findings from the CRELES Study

This is the first study in Latin America to suggest that better cognitive performance is cross-sectionally associated with longer telomeres, independent of chronological age, sex and educational attainment. Longitudinal studies are needed to better assess the correlation between cognition and telomere attrition during aging.

Abstract

This is the first study in Latin America to suggest that better cognitive performance is cross-sectionally associated with longer telomeres, independent of chronological age, sex and educational attainment. Longitudinal studies are needed to better assess the correlation between cognition and telomere attrition during aging.
