Telomeres And Early Life Stress: A Review
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
Last few years there is an evidence of increasing studies done on impact of early life stress and associated morbidities in later life. One such association was to assess the impact of psychological stress with respect to ageing. Shorter telomere length is associated with advancing chronological age and also increased disease morbidity and mortality. In this review, we try understanding about telomeres, early life adverse events, stress and coping skills and lastly, highlighting the recent empirical evidence linking stress exposure during childhood with telomere shortening.
