Shorter telomeres with high telomerase activity are associated with raised allostatic load and impoverished psychosocial resources

Recent work has linked psychological stress with premature cellular aging as indexed by reduced leukocyte telomere length. The combination of shorter telomeres with high telomerase activity (TA) may be indicative of active cell stress. We hypothesized that older individuals characterized by shorter...
