Abstract

Telomere length (TL) serves as a biomarker of exposure to stressors, including material hardship. Data from the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study (1998–2015) were utilized to determine whether prior material hardship was associated with shorter salivary TL at years 9 and 15. 49% of the year 9 study population were female, 49% were Black, and 25% were Hispanic. At year 9 (N = 1990), regression analyses found a significant association between prior material hardship and shorter TL (β = −.005, p < .01). Additionally, at year 15 (N = 1874), material hardship experienced during infancy and toddlerhood was associated with shorter TL (β = −.009, p < .01), pointing toward infancy and toddlerhood as a sensitive period.

物质匮乏与儿童端粒长度

端粒长度（TL）是暴露于包括物质困难在内的压力源的生物标记。我们利用 "家庭未来和儿童福祉研究"（1998-2015 年）的数据来确定以前的物质条件是否与 9 岁和 15 岁时唾液端粒长度较短有关。在第 9 年的研究人群中，49% 为女性，49% 为黑人，25% 为西班牙裔。在第 9 年（N = 1990），回归分析发现以前的物质困难与唾液 TL 缩短之间存在显著关联（β = -.005，p < .01）。此外，在 15 岁时（N = 1874），婴幼儿时期经历的物质困难与较短的总寿命相关（β = -.009, p <.01），表明婴幼儿时期是一个敏感期。
