Are employment and work schedule related to telomere length in women?
Current and long-term full-time work were associated with shorter rTL, with differences of similar magnitude to smoking and history of heart disease or diabetes. Longitudinal data with specific stress measures are needed to further evaluate the impact of work schedule on rTL.
Our findings indicate that differences in infant neuromotor development can be explained even by variations in gestational duration within the normal range. If an infant is found to have minor neuromotor delays, account should be taken of this.
