Outdoor fine particulate matter exposure and telomere length in humans: A systematic review and meta-analysis

In conclusion, our findings suggest that outdoor PM2.5 exposure may contribute to TL shortening, and noteworthy associations were observed in specific subgroups, suggesting the impact of various research variables. Larger, high-quality studies using standardized methodologies are necessary to strengthen these conclusions further.PMID:38518608 | DOI:10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116206
