Distribution of telomere-associated variables as a function of patient age. a. Median telomere length; b. Telomeres < 3 kbp. For each graph the full set of patients (n = 8135, ages 0 to 97 years) were represented by dots and the trend of the median values for each variable superimposed (red line). The trendline (calculated in 5-year intervals) included only patients up to 85 years
