Stress exposure in early post-natal life reduces telomere length: an experimental demonstration in a long-lived seabird

Exposure to stressors early in life is associated with faster ageing and reduced longevity. One important mechanism that could underlie these late life effects is increased telomere loss. Telomere length in early post-natal life is an important predictor of subsequent lifespan, but the factors under...
