Background Ageing is a multifactorial process, and telomere shortening is one of the possible mechanisms of cellular ageing. Many factors can affect telomere length (TL). Our study investigated the effect of vitamin D and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), as one of the inflammatory markers, on TL in older people.Patients and methods This was a cross-sectional study on 100 older people ...
