Deciphering patterns of LTL shortening and variation in the rate of LTL shortening with age among individuals would be highly relevant because shortened LTL has often been detected in individuals with aging-related disorders, cardiovascular disease in particular (5, 9– 12).
Although it is difficult to ascertain a single standout shortened AUDIT variation in this population, numerous variations performed better than the more widely used AUDIT-C according to multiple criteria.
Another possibility is the action of a soft sweep (i.e. selection on standing variation), shortening EHH, creating spurious values in neutrality tests, and in general confounding the signature of selection [34], [35].
The variation in shortening is greatest in the Lesser Himalayan sequence (LHS).
Each was capable of variation by shortening the foot or part of it, but the basic structure was rigidly preserved.
Adding age, BMI, smoking, and sex at baseline examination to the model provided little explanation above that of baseline LTL for interindividual variation in LTL shortening rate.
Both of these possibilities, if present, would not only account for LTL gain but also contribute to variation in LTL shortening during the follow-up period.
LTL itself accounts for approximately 10% of the variation in LTL shortening, meaning that a host of other factors influence leukocyte telomere dynamics in both African Americans and whites.
For these reasons, we examined in a longitudinal study the factors that contribute to variation in LTL shortening among young African-American and white adults in the Bogalusa Heart Study (16).
However, compared to the zeolite 13X bed, the complete regeneration time in the layered bed was drastically shortened due to a greater variation of the amount of equilibrium adsorption of water under temperature on both silica gel and alumina.
