@DrEricKim & co explored associations b/w optimism & telomere length in older adults.

More research is needed to underpin mechanisms https://bit.ly/3lKQj8i ">https://bit.ly/3lKQj8i&q...
@DrSarahEJackson @UCL_BSH & co found associations between https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬆️" title="Pfeil nach oben" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach oben"> cortisol and https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬆️" title="Pfeil nach oben" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach oben"> obesity & waist circumference.
