Telomere Length and Neighborhood Circumstances: Evaluating Biological Response to Unfavorable Exposures

Conclusions: Findings support the use of nonlinear statistical methods in TL research and suggest that neighborhood exposures can result in biological effects.
Impact: TL may serve as an underlying example of a biologic mechanism that can link neighborhood with biology, thus supporting multilevel investigations in future studies. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev; 26(4); 553–60. ©2017 AACR.
