Association of lymphocyte count and serum albumin concentration with telomere length in Chinese sanitation workers.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to examine the association between inflammation-related indicators (IRIs) and telomere length (TL) in Chinese sanitation workers.

Methods

This study adopted a case-control design, conducted from January to December 2022 in Shenzhen, a city in eastern China. A total of 80 sanitation workers, as well as 80 matched controls, were randomly recruited from the Luohu district of Shenzhen city in China. Their blood samples were collected and analyzed for the IRIs and TL in the Medical Laboratory of Shenzhen Prevention and Treatment Center for Occupational Diseases. The relationship between IRIs and TL was analyzed using multivariate linear regression, and their dose-response relationship was explored using restricted cubic spline analysis.
