Telomere length as a function of age at population level parallels human survival curves

class="figure-viewer-img"

Figure 4. Survival functions relative to carriers of shorter telomeres (first tertile) vs carriers of longer telomeres (second/third tertile) in the follow-up sample after seven years from the baseline visit. The Cox regression was adjusted for age and sex. Time is expressed in months, where zero is considered the time of recruitment. HR value, confidence interval, and p-value from Cox regression analysis are reported inside the figure.
