Association between telomere length and cognitive function among cognitively unimpaired individuals at risk of Alzheimer’s disease

Introduction: Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is an objective biomarker of biological aging, and it is proposed to play a crucial role in Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. We aimed at evaluating the cross-sectional association between LTL and cognitive performance in middle-aged cognitively unimpa...
