The long and the short of it: Salivary telomere length as a candidate biomarker for hypertension and age‐related changes in blood pressure

Hypertension becomes more prevalent with increasing age. Telomere length (TL) has been proposed as a candidate biomarker and can be accessibly extracted from saliva. However, clarity is needed to evaluate the suitability of using TL as a predictor in such instances. This study investigated salivary...
