Telomere length correlates with subtelomeric DNA methylation in long-term mindfulness practitioners

12 Mar 2020

Abstract excerpt

Mindfulness and meditation techniques have proven successful for the reduction of stress and improvement in general health. In addition, meditation is linked to longevity and longer telomere length, a proposed biomarker of human aging. Interestingly, DNA methylation changes have been described at specific subtelomeric regions in long-term meditators compared to controls. However, the molecular basis underlying...
