Article Synopsis
- Telomeres, which protect chromosomes, are found to be shorter in infants whose mothers experience higher psychological stress during pregnancy, suggesting potential health implications.
- A systematic review analyzed multiple studies to understand the relationship between maternal stress and newborn telomere length (TL), confirming that increased stress correlates with decreased TL in infants.
- The findings highlight the significant impact of maternal psychological factors on newborn health, indicating that stress during pregnancy can negatively influence telomere length, which may affect long-term health outcomes.
