| Notes: | This article reports on scientific research conducted into the theory that exposure to violence accelerates telomere erosion in children aged five to ten years of age. The violence experienced by those surveyed included maternal domestic violence, peer bullying and other physical abuse by an adult. Telomere erosion is the deterioration of biological processes. This can be accelerated due to stress, or as the authors concluded, ongoing exposure to violence. |
