Shortened telomere length is associated with unfair treatment attributed to race in African Americans living in Tallahassee, Florida

23 Dec 2019

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Experiences of interpersonal discrimination are pervasive stressors in the lives of African Americans. Increased discrimination stress may cause premature aging. Telomere length (TL) is a plastic genetic trait that is an emerging indicator of cellular health and aging. Short TL is a risk factor for the earlier onset of disease. TL shortens with age, a process that may be accelerated by psychosocial...
