- Telomere length is a marker for the biological age -- in contrast to chronological age. For 2 people of the CG, the person with shorter telomeres has an increased risk of developing age-related diseases. if telomeres change in their length, that change is also reflected in brain structure. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2751893 23 comments science
