7.4 Author’s Note

This review includes studies published through June, 2011. Since that time, several notable studies been published supporting the idea that psychological stressors may contribute to leukocyte telomere length. These include large cross-sectional studies showing shorter telomeres associated with work-related exhaustion, phobic anxiety, and adverse childhood experiences (Ahola et al. 2012; Okereke et al. 2012; Surtees et al. 2011). Added support for the importance of early life stressors also includes a longitudinal study of telomere shortening and exposure to violence in children (Shalev et al. 2012), and a smaller study showing prenatal stress exposure associated with telomere length in young adults (Entringer et al. 2011).
