Isometric paternal age at conception midpoint (PACmp), relative to year 500 (iso-PAC500) vs. birth telomere length (TL) Equilibrium. Simulations are performed for mean birth TL between 6,000–15,000 bp in the founding population for models with 1-Fold (blue), 2-Fold (yellow), and 4-Fold (green) cancer scaling factors. iso-PAC500 is taken as the PACmp for which mean transgenerational TL is unchanged between years 500 and 1000. Results are fit to a logistic curve and plotted for TL ranging between 6,000 and 12,000 bp.
