Telomere length as a marker of biological age: state-of-the-art, open issues, and future perspectives
A Vaiserman, D Krasnienkov - Frontiers in genetics, 2021 - frontiersin.org
Telomere shortening is a well-known hallmark of both cellular senescence and organismal
aging. An accelerated rate of telomere attrition is also a common feature of age-related …

Biological aging in childhood and adolescence following experiences of threat and deprivation: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Life history theory argues that exposure to early life adversity (ELA) accelerates
development, although existing evidence for this varies. We present a meta-analysis and …

Early experiences of threat, but not deprivation, are associated with accelerated biological aging in children and adolescents
Background Recent conceptual models argue that early life adversity (ELA) accelerates
development, which may contribute to poor mental and physical health outcomes. Evidence …
