Sex-Specific Association of Telomere Length with Individualized Expected Years of Life Lost among 203,731 Males and 241,668 Females.
The influence of LTL on life expectancy varies significantly by sex, with protective associations seen in males and postmenopausal females. This suggests hormonal involvement in telomere dynamics. The results support integrating sex-specific perspectives into aging and telomere research and clinical practice.
