Cumulative exposure to traumatic events in childhood is associated with short leukocyte telomere length (LTL). Age-adjusted LTL tended to decrease across participants exposed to more categories of childhood trauma, controlling for gender (rpartial = −.27, p = .005). Notably, however, all of the participants exposed to two or more categories of childhood trauma had a diagnosis of PTSD.
