Telomere Length and Vascular Phenotypes in a Population‐Based Cohort of Children and Midlife Adults

Background Telomere length has been inversely associated with cardiovascular disease in adulthood, but its relationship to preclinical cardiovascular phenotypes across the life course remains unclear. We investigated associations of telomere length with vascular structure and function in children and midlife adults. Methods and Results Population‐based cross‐sectional CheckPoint (Child Health CheckPoint) study of 11‐ to 12‐year‐old children and...
