The link between discrimination and telomere length in African American adults.

20 Apr 2017

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Prior work shows that discrimination is associated with a wide array of negative health outcomes. However, the biological mechanisms through which this link occurs require more study. We evaluated the association between discrimination and leukocyte telomere length (LTL; a biological marker of systemic aging). METHOD: Cross-sectional data were from the Health and Retirement study, a study of people...
