Summary

The purpose of this study is to better understand the impact of weight-loss surgery on telomere length. Telomeres are a key marker of biological aging of cells. Telomere shortening is a natural process of aging. Several pathologies and lifestyles are associated with premature telomere shortening, such as obesity, diabetes mellitus or sedentary lifestyle. New evidence supports that telomere shortening can be partially reversed by lifestyle changes such as healthy diet, reduced stress, or increased physical activity.
