Childhood Physical and Sexual Abuse History and Leukocyte Telomere Length among Women in Middle Adulthood

8 Jun 2015

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Abuse victimization in childhood is associated with a variety of age-related cardiometabolic diseases, but the mechanisms remain unknown. Telomeres, which form the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes, have been proposed as measures of biological age, and a growing body of research suggests that telomere attrition may help to explain relationships between stress and cardiometabolic degradation....
