摘要
Aim: To assess the telomere length in apparently healthy obese and normal-weight subjects. Methods: Seventy-six Caucasian subjects were chosen including 53 children ( age 8.2 +/- 3.5 years) and 23 adults (age 40.5 +/- 8.4 years). Among these, 22 ( 12 children and 10 adults) were obese with a body mass index (BMI, kg/m(2)) > 2 SD above the norm. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), measured with a multiple frequency analyzer, was used to estimate body composition. DNA extraction from white blood cells was used to estimate the telomere length by detection of terminal restriction fragments (TRF). Results: No difference was found between the TRF lengths of obese and normal children. Obese adults had shorter TRF lengths than adults who were not obese (mean TRF length difference, -884.5; 95% confidence intervals - 1727 to -41.8; t = 2.183; df = 17; p < 0.041). Conclusion: Obese adults have shorter telomeres than their normal-weight counterparts, while this phenomenon is not present in childhood.
