Racial and Socioeconomic Variation in Genetic Markers of Telomere Length: A Cross-Sectional Study of U.S. Older Adults.

EBioMedicine - 1 Sept 2016

Hamad Rita, Tuljapurkar Shripad, Rehkopf David H

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Shorter telomere length (TL) has been associated with stress and adverse socioeconomic conditions, yet U.S. blacks have longer TL than whites. The role of genetic versus environmental factors in explaining TL by race and socioeconomic position (SEP) remains unclear. METHODS: We used data from the U.S. Health and Retirement Study (N=11,934) to test the hypothesis that there are differences in...
