Figure 1.
The distribution of observed telomere lengths (T/S ratio) for the CHDS cohort (n = 677) is shown as a histogram, a density curve for a normal distribution with the same mean ( = 1.18) and standard deviation (s = 0.37) has been superimposed. The data is not normally distributed (Shapiro-Wilks p<0.001), and is right skewed (skewness 2.3). Telomere length in this cohort ranges from a T/S ratio of 0.50 to 4.35.
