Alcoholic patients had shortened telomere lengths, placing them at greater risk for age-related diseases, like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, dementia and liver disease. The more alcohol people drink, the more their cells age.
Telomeres are parts of human cells that affect how cells age, the protein caps on the ends of human chromosomes are markers of aging and complete health.
Excess drinking of alcohol leads to lost of replication of cell tiny bit of telomere so they get shorter with age. But some people may have shorter telomeres for other reasons.
Alcoholic patients have a shortened telomere length because excess drinking causes biological aging at a cellular level.
Scientists examined patients undergoing alcoholism treatment in hospital, they also examined their habits, DNA samples and drinking histories
They discovered that they have thiamine deficiency TD and it causes neuron impairments such as Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome which can leads to braid disorder, coma and death in alcoholic patients.
