Association of the T/S ratio of the telomere length and TERRA expression with old age (≥65 years), sarcopenia and intervention using exercise and nutrition support.
| Age (Year) | Sarcopenia | Intervention | Female Gender | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Telomere length | −0.017 (−0.02 to −0.005) |
−0.131 (−0.31 to 0.04) |
0.048 (−0.13 to 0.22) |
−0.020 (−0.20 to 0.16) |
| p = 0.004 * | p = 0.154 | p = 0.605 | p = 0.840 | |
| TERRA expression | −0.034 (−0.13 to 0.06) |
−2.705 (−3.85 to −1.55) |
1.599 (0.22 to 2.97) |
−0.632 (−1.84 to 0.57) |
| p = 0.492 | p < 0.001 * | p = 0.023 * | p = 0.306 |
* indicates p < 0.05. TERRA: telomeric repeat-containing RNA.
