Its pathogenesis remains unclear. Epidemiological studies have found that the loss of telomere length in peripheral blood cells can increase the risk of coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, and other diseases. However, a correlation between loss of telomere length and hypertension has not been established. In this study, we aimed to explore the association between telomere length and the risk of essential hypertension (EH) in Chinese coal miners. A case\u2010control study was performed with 215 EH patients and 222 healthy controls in a large coal mining group located in North China. Face\u2010to\u2010face interviews were conducted by trained staff with the necessary medical knowledge. Relative telomere length (RTL) was measured by a quantitative real\u2010time PCR assay using DNA extracted from peripheral blood. In the control group, the age\u2010adjusted RTL was statistically significantly lower in miners performing hard physical labour compared with nonphysical labour (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.043). A significantly shorter age\u2010adjusted RTL was found in the control group of participants who consumed alcohol regularly compared with those who do not consume alcohol (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.024). Age\u2010adjusted RTL was negatively correlated with body mass index (BMI) and alcohol consumption. Hypertension was also found to be significantly correlated with factors such as age, BMI, alcohol consumption, smoking, and tea consumption. Our results suggest that RTL is associated with hypertension in coal miners.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2020\/5681096","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,8]],"date-time":"2020-12-08T19:09:56Z","timestamp":1607454596000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Relative
