Description |
Optimism may enhance longevity by slowing cellular aging, for which leukocyte telomere shortening is a biomarker. |
| EXPERIMENT INFORMATION | |
Region |
USA |
Race |
white |
Samples |
1967 |
Age |
21-93 |
Gender |
519/893 |
Application |
Anti-Aging |
Conclusion |
This suggests that a slower rate of cellular aging, as indicated by leukocyte telomere length, may not be a biological pathway through which optimism operates to reduce the risk of age-related chronic diseases. |
