(A) Telomere length (relative T/S ratio) in blood decreases with age in 36- to 69-y-old mothers. (B) Telomere length in mothers (adjusted for age) predicts offspring telomere length (adjusted for offspring age, sex, and age × sex). Statistics and black line show maternal–offspring TL association (maternal TL adjusted for maternal age and offspring TL adjusted for offspring age, sex, and age × sex). Dashed gray line shows maternal–daughter association and dotted gray line shows maternal–son association (unadjusted offspring TL values).
