Background Over the life course, African American (AA) women have faster telomere
attrition, a biological indicator of accelerated aging, than White women. Race, sex, age, and …

Previous research has demonstrated inverse associations between experiences of
interpersonal discrimination and telomere length, a marker of cellular aging. Here, we …

Objective Studies have linked self-reported discrimination to telomere attrition, a biological
marker of accelerated cellular aging. However, it is unknown whether intersections between …

Objectives Experiences of interpersonal discrimination are pervasive stressors in the lives of
African Americans. Increased discrimination stress may cause premature aging. Telomere …

Objectives: Chronic stress from experiencing discrimination can lead to long-term changes
in psychological and physiologic responses, including shorter leukocyte telomere length …

Social and economic disadvantage are hypothesized to increase the risk of disease and
death via accelerated biological aging. Given that US blacks are socially and economically …

Purpose Telomere length is considered a biomarker of human aging and premature
morbidity and mortality which has been associated with chronic stress. Methods We …

Abstract Background African American men in the USA experience poorer aging-related
health outcomes compared to their White counterparts, partially due to socioeconomic …

Background Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is an indicator of general systemic aging, with
shorter LTL being associated with several chronic diseases of aging and earlier mortality …

African American men in the US experience disparities across multiple health outcomes. A
common mechanism underlying premature declines in health may be accelerated biological …
