IntroductionRecent studies indicate accelerated ageing processes, shorter telomere length and poorer cognitive functioning in patients with bipolar disorder. The neurobiology underlying cognitive function in bipolar disorder is yet to be established. We anticipated that accelerated ageing as indicated by shortened telomere length, would be associated with reduced cognitive performance in bipolar disorder, particularly for ageing sensitive functions such as memory and learning.MethodsThe study consisted of 647 participants (bipolar disorder [n= 246] and healthy controls [n= 401]). All participants underwent a standardized neuropsychological test battery, including working memory, executive functioning, processing speed, verbal learning, and verbal memory. Leucocyte telomere length was measured via blood and determined by quantitative real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) providing a telomere to single copy ratio (T/S ratio). The T/S ratio was used as an estimate of the mean telomere length of each participant. All analyses were adjusted for medication, Daily Defined Dose (DDD), chronological age, sex, and ethnicity.ResultsPatients had shorter telomere lengths than healthy controls (Cohen'sd= 0.11,p= 0.01). Within patients', a positive association was observed for verbal learning and telomere length (β = 0.14,p= 0.025), along with a trend for verbal memory and telomere length (β = 0.11,p= 0.07). No other associations were observed for telomere length and cognitive functioning in the patient or the control group (p>0.1).ConclusionOur study may suggest poorer brain health in bipolar disorder as indexed by shorter telomere length and reduced learning correlates. However, the role of telomere length on cognitive functioning in bipolar disorder seems limited.
