Working Status of First-Time Postpartum Mothers and Telomere Length-A 1-Year Prospective Study.

Objective: Transitioning to motherhood can create work family conflicts affecting mothers' health. Although employment is generally associated with longer telomeres, this may diminish during the early years of child-rearing. This study aimed to assess the impact of work reentry on telomere length (TL) among first-time mothers.
