TelomereHealth

Meaning

Telomere Health refers to the maintenance of the optimal length and structural integrity of telomeres, the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes that safeguard genetic material during cell division. Telomere shortening is a well-established biomarker of cellular aging and is associated with reduced tissue function and increased risk of age-related disease. Prioritizing telomere health through lifestyle and clinical interventions is a core strategy in geroscience and longevity medicine, aimed at preserving cellular function and extending the replicative capacity of tissues.
