For LGBTQ+ individuals, coming out can be an experience of marked adversity. Indeed,
research has shown that the experience can trigger psychological ill-health (eg depression …

Telomere length (TL) is a biological marker of cellular aging, and shorter TL in adulthood is
associated with increased morbidity and mortality risk. It is likely that these differences in TL …

Early-life adversity can affect health, survival and fitness later in life, and recent evidence
suggests that telomere attrition may link early conditions with their delayed consequences …

Studies examining the association between early adversity and longitudinal changes in
telomere length within the same individual are rare, yet are likely to provide novel insight …

There is growing interest in elucidating the determinants of newborn telomere length, given
its potential as a biomarker of lifetime disease risk affected by prenatal exposures. There is …
