Leucocyte telomere length is associated with cerebrovascular disease in humans (RR 1.14, 95% CI 0.85 to 1.54).
“Shorter telomeres were not significantly associated with cerebrovascular disease risk in prospective studies (1.14, 0.85 to 1.54)”

Leucocyte telomere length raises the risk of cerebrovascular disease in humans (RR 1.42, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.81).
“The pooled relative risk for cerebrovascular disease was 1.42 (1.11 to 1.81), with no significant heterogeneity between studies”
