Association of IGF-1, IGFBP-1, IGFBP-3, and Age With Leukocyte Telomere Length Among 551 Men and Women 65 Years and Older

β SE (β) p Value
Model 1
    IGF-1 (per SD) .06 .04 .09
    IGFBP-1 (per SD) .03 .03 .22
    IGFBP-3 (per SD) −.02 .04 .54
    Age (per SD) −.09 .03 <.01
Model 2
    IGF-1 (per SD) .08 .04 .04
    IGFBP-1 (per SD) .04 .03 .23

    Age (per SD) −.09 .03 <.01

Note: β represents change in leukocyte telomere length associated with 1 SD change in IGF-1, IGFBP-1, or IGFBP-3. Model 1: Adjusted for IGF-1, IGFBP-1, IGFBP-3, age, race, sex, and laboratory batch. Model 2: Adjusted for covariates in Model 1 plus smoking status (ever vs never), body mass index, hypertension, diabetes, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. IGF-1 = insulin-like growth factor-1; IGFBP = insulin-like growth factor–binding protein.
