Longitudinal decline of leukocyte telomere length in old age and the association with sex and genetic risk
Figure 4. Individual relative leukocyte telomere length (LTL) change in the longitudinal cohort. The difference in LTL measurement between any two time-points in the same individual is on the x-axis. The frequency is on the y-axis. Telomere elongation is exhibited in samples with delta LTL>0, and telomere attrition is exhibited in samples with delta LTL<0. The sample distribution shows an overall elongation in 46%.
