Longitudinal decline of leukocyte telomere length in old age and the association with sex and genetic risk
Figure 1. Plots of all leukocyte telomere length (LTL) samples across measurement points for the longitudinal analyses for men (left panel) and for women (right panel). The x-axis represents age at sample testing, and the y-axis represents the plate-adjusted residuals of LTL re-scaled back to T/S-ratio. A loess smoothing line calculated from a weighted regression over age for all samples is shown.
