Mean telomere length

1. Log-transformed platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio is associated with mean telomere length in humans (β1 = 0.034, 95% CI 0.012–0.057).

   “TeloMean significantly increased with PLR Log when below this threshold (β1 = 0.034, 95% CI: 0.012-0.057, P = .003)”

1. Female sex is associated with mean telomere length in humans.

   “At any age, mean TL was longer and the proportion of short telomeres lower in females than in males.”
