Child buccal telomere length and mitochondrial DNA content as biomolecular markers of ageing in association with air pollution

Background: Pro-inflammatory conditions such as air pollution might induce biological ageing. However, the available evidence on such an impact in children is still very scarce. We studied in primary schoolchildren the association of ambient residential air pollution exposure with telomere length (T...
