摘要

In this EBioMedicine article, Dries Martens and colleagues report that newborn telomere length (TL) predicts TL in early childhood and young adulthood and that relative position within the TL distribution remains stable over time for the majority of study participants [1]. This work builds on previous studies that found evidence of so-called tracking and fixed ranking of TL in adults [2] and adolescents and their parents [3]. While the evidence for tracking and fixed ranking of TL appears to be somewhat weaker in childhood compared to adolescence and adulthood, taken together, the results of these studies draw attention to the importance of early life conditions in shaping trajectories of TL across the life course. This is particularly relevant in light of recent Mendelian randomization studies suggesting that TL plays a causal role in cardiovascular disease and cancer [4,5], the two leading causes of death in the US. Although there is a growing body of literature examining predictors of newborn and child TL (see, for example [6,7]), the overwhelming majority of telomere studies have focused on adults. If TL trajectories are indeed established in the first decade of life, as suggested by prior research on tracking and fixed ranking of TL [1 3], then researchers and funding agencies should prioritize research on the determinants of newborn and child TL. In order to facilitate the development of interventions to promote optimal TL in infants and children, this research should focus on the identification of modifiable environmental exposures, such as material deprivation, discrimination, and air pollution, which may impact TL in early life.
