Abstract:BackgroundPrevious researches have demonstrated an association between carotenoids and elongated telomeres. Nonetheless, there is scant scientific evidence examining this relationship in individuals who are overweight or obese, a demographic more predisposed to accelerated aging. This study aims to elucidate the correlation between serum carotenoid concentrations and telomere length within this population group.MethodsData were sourced from the 2001–2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, encomp… Show more
