Dutch researchers compared telomeres in more than 2,400 people with and without depression. They found that the telomeres of people who had been depressed were significantly shorter than those of people who had never battled depression. The results remained even after researchers accounted for a host of lifestyle factors that can also damage DNA and shorten telomeres, such as alcohol abuse and cigarette smoking. They calculated that the telomere shortening in people with a history of depression represented about four to six years of advanced aging!
