the most widely discussed genetic ageing markers is the peripheral blood lymphocyte telomere length. Lymphocyte telomeres are the ends of linear DNA that have the repetitive nucleotide sequence TTAGGG. Telomeres protect linear chromosome ends from

telomere shortening ( 15 ). Telomere length is usually measured as leukocyte telomere length (LTL) since it is relatively easy to extract leukocytes from human blood. Studies have shown that short and dysfunctional telomeres are linked to diabetes ( 16
