Food Security and Leukocyte Telomere Length in Adult Americans

Table 2

Adjusted (sex, race, and education) mean of TL for different categories of food security across the different ages.

Age categories	Food security categories		value

18–24.9 ()	1.41	1.39	0.235
25–34.9 ()	1.32	1.20	<0.001
35–44.9 ()	1.26	1.11	<0.001
45–54.9 ()	1.04	1.01	0.328
55–64.9 ()	0.98	0.95	0.694
Upper than 65 ()	0.87	0.88	0.835

TL: telomere length (T/S ratio), value expressed as a mean and SEM. Results from the analyses of covariance statistical procedure.
