Relationship between telomere shortening and early subjective depressive symptoms and cognitive complaints in older adults
Figure 1. Comparison of TL according to the treatment history for depressive symptoms at baseline and after six months of follow-up. (A) Boxplot showing distributions of TLs in the study subjects at baseline and after six months of follow-up; (B) scatterplot with a linear regression line showing the difference in TL according to the treatment history for depressive symptoms at baseline and after six months of follow-up; (C) boxplot showing differences in TL according to the treatment history for depressive symptoms at baseline and after six months of follow-up; (D) ROC curve to identify the optimal cut-off values predicting depressive symptoms requiring treatment in elderly at baseline and after six months of follow-up. TL=telomere length; ROC=receiver operating characteristic.
