“…Hence, proper telomere maintenance is crucial for ensuring healthy cellular function and preventing age-related diseases that could endanger human life. Telomere length is a dynamic marker that reflects not only genetic predispositions [ 38 ], but can be also affected by host age [ 39 ], sex [ 40 ], hormones [ 41 , 42 ], exogenous life factors (e.g., stress [ 43 ], nutrition [ 44 , 45 ], exercise [ 46 ], obesity and weight loss [ 47 ], paternal age [ 48 ], socio-economic status [ 49 ], alcohol dependence [ 50 ], tobacco smoking [ 51 ]), and environmental exposures (e.g., air pollution [ 52 ], UV radiation [ 36 ]).…”
