Researchers here present evidence for leukocyte telomere length and a few other less well explored blood biomarkers to correlate with the progression of atherosclerosis and vascular calcification and later mortality. Calcification of blood vessels and the development of fatty atherosclerotic lesions are two distinct processes, but they tend to progress together, most likely because they are both driven to a sizable degree by the presence of chronic inflammation, and related issues such as burden of senescent cells.
