Telomeres in a Life-Span Perspective

2009-02-01

Abstract excerpt

In order to more fully understand associations between psychological stress and health, it is helpful for researchers to identify “psychobiomarkers,” or biological measures that are regulated in part by psychological function and that predict longevity. Telomere length appears to be such a measure. Telomeres, the protective caps at the tips of chromosomes, shorten with age, and this shortening predicts disease and...
